You look at me,
You think you know me.

You know nothing.

The real me can be colorful,
I can be adventurous or careful.

You know nothing.

You don’t like me you say,
Well all I have to say is okay.

You know nothing.

I am truthful and honest,
You still think that you’re the best.

You know nothing.

I think that you’re rare,
I guess I just don’t care.

You know nothing.

I am who I want to be,
That’s all that matters you see.
