Who I Am

you say you want me
to be a part of you?
you say i'll fit in just fine?
you hardly ever see me,
but you think you know all about me.
don't look at me
through gray-colored glasses,
my colors run deep,
you'll miss the real me.

look at me as my Creator does.
He sees me for who i am.
don't see me
in someone else's clothes,
they won't fit.
don't see me
with a different attitude,
it's who i am.

my words may not always come out
just the way you like,
but my thoughts
and my ideas
are all mine.
they're who i am.

you say you want me?
be careful what you ask for.
because what you see
is what you will get.
