I Am Not Like You

Iam not like can't you see;
Yet you try to change me constantly.

I make my own decisions, so should you.
Changing for for you is something I won't do.

I like being who Iam today.,
And the person you see before you is here to stay!

I am to stay, not going anywhere,
Change me don't you try, no don't you dare!

Couldn't change my heart even if I wanted,
I am definitly not trying to be like you.

I am an indiviual and I like it that way,
Don't care what you think, or what you say.

God made me in his image, and I am very proud of that,
Wouldn't have it anyother way, and that's a fact..

I am a born survor, know this to be true
Can't go around faking, and pretending as some folks do.

I am not a fake, tho at one time I tried it once upon a time,
Damn near made me lose my mind.

Running around, not noing i which direction,
I needed some serious prayer and meditation.

I meditated and prayed to God,
Now of myself, I am very proud.

Iam proud because I truely fear no man,
I am my own person,YES, Iam
