Being Me

People meet me

Each day I show them

This is who I am

The same as yesterday

I’m nice

I’m funny

I’m peaceful

That doesn’t mean I am weak

It doesn’t mean I am a pushover

I’m merely watching you show me who you are

You bully or try to control

It won’t work

You will incite a fight

I can take care of myself

You won’t be welcome in my life

Afterward I’ll still be me

Just the same as I was when we met

I’m nice

I’m funny

I’m peaceful

I’m still being me
