What Does It Mean

What does it mean?
To be me that is.
I am my own person.
No one can tell me what to do
Or who to be.
I believe what I want.
I do what I want.

What does it mean? 
To be called human.
Does it mean to do what
Society tells me what to do
Or what I should be.
Or who I should call friend.
How should I be human?

What does it mean?
To live?
Living my live 
As me or as human.
Is there really a difference?
Why can't I be who I am
While being a better human.
