I Want To Be Me

If I could be anyone
I wanted to be
After checking my list
I'd still want to be me

From the top to bottom
Then back up again
There's no other skin
I'd fill comfortable in

I'm pretty unique
There's no one out there
Exactly like me
No not anywhere

Out of all of the people
Around me I see
I think that it's best
That I just stick with me

If your out there like me
Then fill free to be
Your very on you
As you let me be me

Accept who you are
And toss out your list
Without the list
Then you'll never miss

You can take that as fact
Jot it down as true
Do all the math
Me=Me, You=You
