Why Can't I Be? 

Why Can't I Be 

I am who I am

I am not forsaken

Nor do I forsake

 

You cannot judge me

For you do not know me

You know not my composure

You know not my crimes

You know not my agonies

You know not my joys

For they all inside of me

 

You see only the peek

But the whole does my eyes seek  

You think you know justice

But all I see are injustice

 

You can’t judge me

There is no such thing

I live for the wisdom

I live for the passion

I live for the liberty; the liberty of being me

I live not to victimize

Nor to be the victim

 

I live for sure for a piece of peace

For all that I am after is a life full of laughter

So, why can’t I be?

 

I am who I am

When you “say I do”

I say “I do not”

Who are you to say so?

Or who are you to do so?

 

You who does not care

You who can’t phantom

There are phantoms you cannot see

They are there and here and everywhere

There are frames on every wall

They are there and here and everywhere

 

There are mysteries

They have been there for centuries

You cannot phantom nor can I

 

This, although, is what I know

I am who I am

So, why can’t I be?
