Always myself

So many people have tried to make me Someone that I really rather not be All the rules that I am supposed to follow They feel like something I won't swallow Telling me that it will make me better So I'm sending you all this little letter Telling you what you need to know Because I never will be lying low I will be stronger so don't keep me down Never forget that I will stay around You don't get to tell me who I will be Only I get to decide what it means to be me You can all try and make me want to feel Like all my feelings are not actually real But you can forget all the thing you said Because I will be making myself instead Into the one I where I can be really free And not just the branch cut from a tree Just in case you are starting to forget I will tell you something to make you regret I will be stronger so don't keep me down Never forget that I will stay around You don't get to tell me who I will be Only I get to decide what it means to be me You can never make me something I'm not I will always be me with every single dot I will be stronger so don't keep me down Never forget that I will stay around You don't get to tell me who I will be Only I get to decide what it means to be me You don't get to tell me who I will be Only I get to decide what it means to be me
