BORN TO BE ME.....

I Was Born To Be Me I was born to be me, not a copy of you. Be your parent or teacher or friend Be your husband or wife, I was given this life And it’s mine to create till the end. Too many people have tried to diminish my pride By claiming all pride is a sin But the fact of my worth was established at birth At the time I was born to be me. I was born to be me, but I’ve learned in a lifetime. I never will make it alone I’ve too much of myself needs the giving of others The parts I can’t see till I’m shown. So then come touch me inside Take the measure of this pride Set me free from whatever unreal. Oh there’s a life to be won And I’ve barely begun To insist I was born to be me.
