Free To Be Me

I did something different
Resulting in concern
They didn’t understand it
And they didn’t care to learn

I made a thoughtful choice
Each time I had a chance
And redefined myself
Despite each sideways glance

I continued to transform
Until I was unrecognizable
Until they weren’t surprised
And I felt unanalyzable

Comfortably the exception
I am finally free
Because now the unexpected
Is what they expect from me
