Free To Be Just Me

They try to change me and rearrange me..To make me the "perfect one".
They plan to tame me and hope to shame me to make me the "marrying kind".
They tell me I'm beautiful inside and out, but I know where it leads in time.
They try to control me and guide my way, always the same ole' line.
All this potential to be what "they" need, while I set alone and silently scream.
All this conforming locks me away, deep within my soul..
Why can't they stop? Why can't they see? No need for all this control.
With a heart that is pure and a spirit that's free, it's not so bad just being me..
So, stop tryin' to change me and rearrange me,just let me be who I am..
Accept me or leave me, get in line, cuz tonight I don't give a damn..
