I am who I am

Like the curls of my lock

Like the tail of the dog

Like the curves of the wave

I stay as I am

Not the wind

Nor the current

Not the forces of this universe

Could change who I am

People came and went

Friends and enemies crossed my way

Hated, loved, envied, forgotten

Yet I am who I am

Nothing can change

Am true to myself

For I came to life alone 

And I will be who I am

I fear not the world

I am strong and undeterred

I leave this life alone 

As I am who I am
