Being Me
I never wanted to be a boy
so maybe I don't understand
what it is you've been through
but on the other hand
do you understand my life?
Have you lived what I have lived?
Are we not individual
both above and beyond the skin?
So yeah, I'm not a tomboy
But that doesn't mean that I'm not strong
although I like wearing dresses
And skirts that aren't very long
I stand up for what I believe in
no matter what the cost
I raise my voice for women
and all those who feel lost
Those that wear their hair long
and those that cut it short
Those that seek a career in acting
or in court
So maybe I'm not you, or who you want me to be
But in spite of all that, I'm happy being me
Because me is who I've always been
And who I'll always be
So now I hope that you have seen
What a joy it is to be free!
