Proud to be me

Proud to be me

A Poem by Joy
"

I am me and nothing can change that.

"

They tell me to change and people will like me.

They tell me i’m weird.

They tell me I can’t be this,

Or I can’t be that.

They try and strip me of my pride.

They place stereotypes on me,

Telling me who I can and can’t be.

They try and change me.

But I am me,

I was me the day I was formed in my mother’s womb,

I was me the day I took my first breath,

I am me today,

I will still be me the day I die.

Nothing,

No standards,

No stereotypes,

No bullies,

Not one thing can change me.

But I know who I am,

And nothing can change who I am,

Or who I like,

Or what my personality is like.

They can’t change

Me.
