I AM ME

Once..

I tried to sing, "you're too much loud!"
I tried to draw, "your art is odd"
I tried to dance, "are you a toad?"

I wish...

I can sing a song of what's inside me
I can draw things just the way I see
I can dance because I can dance freely

I wish I can do these things because I can be.

I wonder each day when this time will come,
When I can be free and criticisms are all gone.
Yes! I'm different but at least I'm free
At last! I can do the things I wanna be

Because I can be,
Because I am free,
Because I am me.
