I am me.
Simple and classified not!
Not she.
Not her.
Just me.

I am me,
not you.
I don"t understand how you cannot see.
yes, you are raising me, but I'll always be me.

i am me.
I don't want o be anyone else.
Open your eyes!
See not my imperfections,
but me.

I am me.
You can't change that.
Yes, I am gay,
but you should love me no less because, I am me.

I wrote this when i first came out to my family. They still find it hard to believe and give me a hard time about it but they love me no less.
