~Not Like You~
I am me
I have my own plan
my own dreams
My own spirit
my own soul
I am not like you
Why do you keep
trying to change me?
To do the things you do
Talk the way you talk
Walk the way you walk
Be a slave to your ways?
I am not your property!
Why won't you let me go?
I don't want to do what you do
I don't think you are right
I want other things in my life
Why do you keep pressuring me?
Peer pressure?
A husbands Property?
Gang rules?
You can't get out?
Lift up your head
Stand tall
Stand proud!
You can do it!
Walk away!
Let today be the first day
of the rest of your life.
Life is short
Don't let it pass you by
You have got to try!
To be the best you can be
Not someone elses clone
Even if it means being alone
Put your hand in their face
You aren't entered in a race
Put them in their place
Speak these words
It will be your saving grace
I am what I am
I am me
I am not you
I am me
I Love who I am
and its Not Like You!
