I Am What I Am

I can't be weak because life is a little bit bleak, I don't break when someone says I'm fake. I am what I am. I'm not ashamed to say I'm not the same and I won't run scared because I lost someone who cared. I am what I am. I shouldn't and wouldn't pretend to be something I'm not because if you hate me for what I'm not and like me only for what I have got then you can continue to rot. I am what I am But what am I? Who am I? Am I am fighter? Or am I a writer? Am I a know it all? Or am I a poet standing tall? Who knows? What knows? I don't know... I know a label I am not, but am I a who or a what? Who knows? What knows? I don't know... I am what I am

In the silence of our hearts, we are all still looking and finding - we are who we are. Nice reading your poem.
