I am What I am

Sometimes people talk to you about personality
To make you have that perfect congeniality
But sometimes I prefer not to lose my individuality
Because "I am what I am"

There are your most dear ones
Who swear to do you good
But sometimes I prefer not to lose my identity
Because "I am what I am"

People shower advice on you
To give you the power to act wise
But sometimes I prefer to listen to my conscience
Because "I am what I am"

Sometimes people stand beside you in times of distress
To buttress you at times of such stress
But sometimes I prefer to be alone
Because "I am what I am "

People are excited at times of joy
They invite you to shout and enjoy
But sometimes I prefer to be a coy
Because "I am what I am"

I don't want to be a star in the sky
I want a star for myself in the sky
But sometimes I deny the reality
Because "I am what I am"
