April-Joanne Sharpe Poet I do not know?

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
