I Am Who I Am

" I am what I am

And what I am needs no excuses" - La Cage Aux Folles

The above is taken from a song that was made famous by Gloria Gaynor. It's quite a common misheard lyric as the title of this post is how I heard it in my head the other morning whilst washing up with the radio on.

I Am Who I Am

I am complex

I am awkward

I am shy

I am talkative

I am caring

I am passionate

I am kinky

I am all of the above and more

I feel lonely at times

I try too hard to fit in

I find it hard to make friends

I unintentionally ruin the good things

I put off doing things just because

I hold back my frustration too long

I become emotional very easily

I am all of the above and more

I am the one who is quiet

I am the one who is small

I am the one who keeps to themselves at parties

I am the one everybody relies on

I am the one who just listens

I am the one who tells you you're special

I am the one who craves to be desired

I am all of the above and more

I am who I am

Without the above I would not be me
