I am who I am

 Five weeks of freedom, but no release

Will the containment ever cease?

I try my hardest to see how you see

But I am who I am, not who you want me to be

You are who you are, for better or worse

I am who I am, and to me that's no curse

Can't you just love me for who I am

If perfect I were, I'd be ashamed for the sham

I am who I am, I have no excuse

But I don't deserve your misplaced abuse

I know in my heart my values are true

And it hurts to know they're not good enough for you

It's everyone's right as being to be

Who they are in themselves, and for me to be me

My sins are many, but that's my cross to bear

And because who I am, there's no blame to share

But that's just me, my fault, my way

A wasted life? the wrong path you say?

But it's my life and my path, perhaps without plan

And that's alright, because I am who I am.
