A Call to Be Myself
I am not a jar to be labeled
I am not a defendant to be judged
I am not a lady to sit and listen with her hands folded
I am not an insect to be crushed
I am not a cry to be ignored
I am not a robot to conform to society
I am not a current to go with the flow
I am not a glass to be called delicate
I am not a computer to obey commands
I refuse to be what people want me to be
I refuse to change my ways to please others
I refuse to submit to the status quo
I refuse to be a clone
I am original
I am unique
I am crazy
I am a tomboy
I am a nerd
I am a reader
I am a scholar
I am a feminist
I am a musician
I am a poet
I am content to be flawed
I am pleased with my differences
I am okay with being weird
I am happy with myself
I am who I am
Because I am who I am called to be
I am who I want to be
