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
