BORN THIS WAY

BORN THIS WAY

Some people say I’m cheeky and that’s okay
I don’t care what they say, I was born this way
I can’t be like somebody else
I just want to be myself
I write poetry and I write songs
This is right where I belong
I’m not into numbers and I don’t do sums
I would much rather play the drums
I love music and I love words
But, I’m afraid of heights and I’m scared of birds
I can be quirky and sometimes strange
Even if I could I wouldn’t change
I’m not sure what else I can say
I can only be me I was born this way.

Being yourself and accepting yourself as you are is a beautiful truth that not many people find. Bless you.

Yess!!! I love that you love yourself without caring about others and it is a great sentiment to share so other people are inspired as well. I hope that never changes about you. Also, I would love, love, love to hear this poem sung as a song.
