I Am
I am me
I am not her
I am not him
I am not them
I am not a stereotype
I am not a fad
I am me
Do not tell me to keep quiet
I will speak up
Do not tell me to stand back
I will step forward
Stop me from accomplishing my goals
I would like to see you try
I am me
Playing dumb may gain popularity
But I am smart
Acting small may keep me from getting hurt
But I want to be big
Hiding myself may be what the world wants
But I refuse to do so
I am me
They say I cannot change the world
They say one person does not matter
They want to bring me down
They want to hide my strengths
They do not care about individuals
They do not want to lend a hand
I am me
I promise to break out of the crowd
I promise to stand up
I promise to be my best self
I will not sit back
I will not watch others be pushed aside
I will be the change I want to see
I am me
That is enough
