Who I Am

(Marilyn Gale)

I came in to show what I’ve got; All you saw is what I’m not.
I was nervous, somewhat unprepared; you looked down your nose as I shared.
I said I know I didn’t do my best; give me a chance, I can show you the rest.
I gave you my card and I got in my car; out came this song as I drove along.
I am who I am, and I’m okay with that. You are who you are, and that’s a fact.
Goodbye for now, maybe forever; I don’t need you anyway.
You think that I don’t have it together; I’ll just go on my own way.
I won’t be waiting for your call; I’m not hanging on for you at all.
You may say I’m a such & such; you didn’t impress me all that much.
I am who I am, and I’m okay with that. You are who you are, and that’s a fact.
I don’t mind being in the fray; I’m not rattled by what you say,
I don’t need your approval today; I’ll go my own way, “, “.
I’m standing right here upon the ground; wherever I am I can be found.
My presence is real, I don’t want to make a deal; I’ll express just how I feel.
I am who I am, and I’m okay with that. You are who you are, and that’s a fact.
