I Am

You learn to tune them out,
The bullies around you
But it doesn't compare
To the point, that no one cares,
What they do
Or what they shout

You mean to deal with it
The fact that your life is this
So you go bout your days
Without bothering,
To keep them away

You feel sorry for them
They don't care about him
He used to let them in
That's why he's broken

I am
That boy that used to be weak
I am
Not what everyone sees
I am
The person I wanna be
So go if you have a problem
With me

I've come so far since the past
And I refuse to go,
Back to that

I've finally gotten strength
It took a while
But I can finally smile
Without it being forced

So now that I'm no longer
Blocking them out
Or letting them
Beat me or shout

I am
That boy that's no longer weak
I am
The boy everyone will see
I am
The person I wanna be
So if you have a bad thing to say
To me

Keep it to yourself
Cause I don't want a part of it
I've finally got where I wanna be
And I've got this

Cause I am
The person I always needed to be
I am
The one you thought,
You wouldn't see
I am
As strong as I make me
