I Am What I Am

I Am What I Am-
People want to know
Who am I?
My answer is always
I Am What I Am

They ask me
What does that mean
My answer is always
It means what it means
I Am What I Am

A wanderer roaming the streets
A poet rhyming schemes
A child in a man's body
I can assure you
I am not shady
I Am What I Am

Struggling through life
But, I am making it
I don't follow the norm
I am breaking it
I Am What I Am

Riding the waves of life
Rain comes pouring down
Still I stay strong
I am not that easily drawn
I Am What I Am

Going through life
Like flashes in a dream
Facing negativity and strife
Its not as easy as I make it seem
I Am What I Am

My troubles get to me sometimes
But, I let it mellow
Pride gets in the way sometimes
I take in more than I can swallow
I Am What I Am

I hesitate to ask for help sometimes
Pride barricades me
I came in this world alone
Why should anybody help me?
I Am What I Am

A shooter when I am shot at
A fighter when I am fought
A lover when I am given love
A great train of thought
I Am What I Am

A jumble of thoughts I am
The philosopher without philosophy
A king who can't be bought I am
I am the Theology
I Am What I Am

Does that sound too arrogant, I ask
I hope not
More humble than I ought to be
Giving till I rot
I Am What I Am

They ask me
What is it that you are looking for
Peace and Happiness, I say
How will you find it, they ask
My answer is always
Till I am done for
I Am What I Am
