I am who I am
Not because of who you are
I’ve gasped from nightmares
I’ve grasped other people’s thoughts

I am who I am
Only because of the pain and abuse that I’ve faced
Just imagine yourself having only one meal a day
Yes one meal a day only at night

I am who I am
Because of the tears that I’ve wept
Having a father who doesn’t even care about you,
What you’re wearing,
What you’re eating
OH! Not forgetting about my feelings

I am who I am
Because of the sorrow that I’ve once been through
Losing a loved one at a very young age
Becoming a burden in other people’s homes

I am who I am
Because I’ve once been shadowed
by a dark cloud of disappointment and misery

I am who I am
Only because I had to overcome some hard times in life

I am who I am
Because of Philippians 3:13
That’s the verse that made me overcome my obstacles
And the abuse that I’ve faced
Philippians 3:13 made me who I am today
