You can break my bones
You can throw sticks and stones
You can take
Just about everything

You can take away my time
You can rule my mind
You can do
Just about anything

But you can’t change me
I am still me
I, will always be

You can hurt me today
You can take it all away
You can try
To change my head

You can change my ways
You can tell me what to say
You can leave me now
Leave me left for dead

But you can’t change me
I am still me
I,
Will always be

I love the tenacity in this. It's a good thing since self is the one we never escape. *grin* I've been enjoying your writing. ~K

I like how you show that people can take whatever you have to offer away from you, but at the same time, they can't take away who you are, and you wont allow them to change you. I really like this a lot.
