This is Me

I don't want to become
Something anyone else wants me to be.
The world presses in
And tells me I need to become someone,
Someone other than myself.
This is my life.
So why are others taking over it?
I just want to be free,
Free to be me.
I fight against the crowd.
I finally push through.
It feels good to be free.
People ask me who I am,
And I can only reply,
"This is me."
