I am what I am
Nothing but me
A walking contradiction
I am what I am
No better than you
And no worse, true
I am what I am
Nothing at all to this world
With its pseudo societies
What am I
If I put a bullet in my brain?
Just another statistic
A teen gone ballistic
I am what I am
A sinner by my own standards
A hypocritical time bomb
With an infinite ticker
I am what I am
A stain on your rug
An unswattable bug
A fleeting shadow in the memories of few
Not worthy of love or hate
I am what I am

Pretty harsh outlook on yourself.
Nevertheless, I enjoy the metaphors like "an unswattable bug"
