Tell me what is it you see
When you stand before me
Who is it you want me to be
What are you trying to make me see

I can't show you who I'm trying to be
When I'm invisible to you, you're blind to me
I can't tell you what I'm trying to say
When you're deaf to me, everyday

I won't pretend to be someone I'm not
I'd rather sit in a ditch and rot
For I will not change for you
I will stay myself, I will stay true

Just hear my words, and see me clear
This is me; I refuse to show my fear
I do not need your comments, your attitude to me
For I am me, and that's who I'll always be
