I Know Who I Am

i know who i am.
i am my mother and father's daughter.
i am a writer,
and i try very hard not to hate people.
you challenge me.

i like to runaway from things,
away from people,
away from problems.
sometimes, i like to be alone.
you're crowding me.

i have dreams.
i have goals.
a lot of goals, i'm not reaching.
not because i can't,
but because i don't think i can.
it's people like you
who are so eager to prove me right.
you disappoint me.

i know who i am.
i try very hard to be the person i want to.
i don't wear disguises to fit your "mold".
i have my own.
i'm all by myself there.
you dislike me for it.
maybe you are the poser.

thats right, i know exactly who i am.
so you do not know me.
and, i'm getting kind of sick of people like you,
who pretend they do.
it's none of you're business,
because you do not know me.
