I'M Not Sorry

I'm not sorry
For what I do
I'm not sorry 
For saying #!&% in public
I'm not sorry
For speaking the truth
I'm not sorry
That you can't handle it
I'm not sorry 
For just saying that
I'm not sorry
That I can't always please you
I'm not sorry
For speaking my mind
And standing up for what I believe in
I'm not sorry
For being too loud
I'm not sorry
That I will never quiet myself for you
I'm not sorry 
That I will never fit into your box
The perfect little package 
You wrapped yourself
So I would look prettier
I'm not sorry
For unwrapping myself 
And showing everyone who I really am
You see I'm not sorry
For standing here vulnerable
Completely open and unapologetically myself
Sharing my story
I'm not sorry
If if makes you cry, laugh, get angry
Or if you don't even react at all
I'm not sorry
For anything I do
Because the moment
I start feeling sorry
Is the moment
I stop making a difference
