who am i?
By donnamarie
i am what people perceive me to be. if all you perceive me to be is your own ideals, and not mine; you lock me up inside a cage. because i am what you perceive me to be, i will never be free, unless you open up your minds. but i am not what you perceive me to be. if i were, my spirit would perish and my soul would die. i am what i am. you nor anyone else can ever change me, for what i am is independent and strong. i will not be persuaded as easily as others; i may not be persuaded at all. for i know who i am. and i know my convictions, and i will not ignore them or throw them away for anyone. that is who i am, not what i am. what i am is human.
