i am...

by Antwan Fields - Aries

im done letting them try to change me 
im done with the way they tried to change me 
to be injured by their words, and what they say about me
i am myself
i won't let this go on 
my clothing is my clothing
and whats mine is in fact, mine
i cut my own hair with a razor, i don't get it styled
i dress as i see fit
i change with the quickness of a dead turtle
dragged kicking and screaming into the new age
to me its still the nineties
with new music by the smashing pumpkins and metallica
ive changed for myself, your decision is awaited by me
and now its the sun i see.
what is hip, try to flip
i am not feminine
i just walk around
but what i do should not be critiqued by them
for i am me
and if all becomes right than we will know
i am...
yours
