My Own Person

Can I be me Do I have to be like everyone else Why can't I be my own person I have to do my own thing I can't become another female statistic I am not going to starve myself to be thin I won't change my hair color three million times I will be me Can't I be my own person

I love it! Being your own person today is hard isn't it but I do agree with you and I try to be different than others. Sometimes because I do I stand alone on issues! Great poem! Love Laura :)
