"I know Who I am"

I know who I am
Have you ever taken the time to know me
Do you really know who I am
Opened your eyes to truly see

I am not that shallow person
nor am I weak
I am not a quitter, mindless, selfish,
Like others seem to be

My inner strength comes from selfless acts of
giving and sharing and not coveting
God as my witness
Who is out there that can handle
my kind of loving

Everyday at times seems senseless,
others taking...is there no minimal
Underneath the core of ones
intentions...lies that one part
The subliminal

I know who I am and what I am about
But others just pass me by
the fear they hold the ever
feeling of doubt

Don't doubt who,or why or what I am
I to have a heart, it to can break
leaving sorrow, anguish, misery the
tears oh how they could form their own lake

So in the weakness of ones own defense
don't pretend to be something your not
the games and useless words others can
sense...
I know who I am...have you taken the time
to get to know me...taken that step and
really see...
Then if you haven't you lost from the beginning
because you will loose in the end
loose the who the why the what...you only
know how to pretend...

I know Who I Am
get to know me...listen and you will truly see
