Take me for who I am
and not who I pretend to be
is my new philosophy

Sick and tired of all these trendy
Macho beings who won't let me be
I'm finally man enough to be me
Sadly enough I used to be like them
always following their lead
and never brave enough to make my own

The time has finally come
to take a stand
To and eliminate these posers
who have the nerve
to call themselves men

I will no longer be a follower
.....a borrower of their ideas
I'm an individual with all the right
by God and by law to be one

Not being true to yourself
Judging others by appearance
Having no respect
and to be blindfolded with ignorance
are some of the worst sins
One could ever make.

I think its safe to say that you've come
to a place where individuals feel free to
speak, to be heard, to share their thoughts,
and above all...

are one!
