I. Am. Me.
Small and petite.
Just ready to tackle whatever challenge comes to me.

I. Am. Unique.
So what if I prefer to dance.
In a ballet.
In a tutu.
Than on a bar floor.

I. Am. Non-Alcoholic.
I spend my time wise.
So what if I turn away from drinks.
If I think that beer stinks.
And, yes, water is just fine.

I. Am. Reserved.
I have some integrity about myself.
I don't like short skirts,
Form-fitting clothes,
Or High-heels for my toes.

I. Am. Pop.
Yes, I listen to pop.
No, I'm not into to hip-hop.
No, I'm not into rap.
So what if I listen to music,
Music that doesn't degrade me;
Music that doesn't insult me;
Music that doesn't require "bleeps".

I. Am. Me.
I am quiet.
I dance.
I love jeans and graphic tees.
My hair is in my natural ponytail.
I don't wear make-up.
And yes, I prefer to spend time with...
My four, lovely sisters.

So what if you don't agree,
If you don't think I blend with YOUR society.
I may not listen to your music,
Dress as you dress,
Speak as you speak,
Think as you think.
Because, at the end of the day...
I Am Me. Happily.

Everything that I feel I was, and still am, questioned on and about by the people around me. Be you, and be PROUD to be you! You don't have to explain yourself to anybody.
