  I am me.

From the tough little skin cells on

   the bottom of my feet;

to the top of my head,

   hair tussled, or neat.

From back to front

   and side to side.

I've lived, laughed.

   loved, and cried.

I am what I am,

   no more and no less;

from the thoughts in my head,

   to the very way, that I dress.

Whether here or there,

   I will do my best;

to be the best me I can be,

   while my heart beats in my chest.

Try to change me not,

   for naught will I change.

I will do the best I can do,

   with what is within my range.

Sometimes singing, dancing,

   or joking around.

I will make you laugh till you cry,

   and sometimes just confound.

Whether standing on my head

   or making an unusual sound.

I am the best me I can be,

   at least the best me that I've found
