I Am Me

Caila Hall

How does it feel to be born normal To have your love seen as natural While mine’s considered a disease Not have to hide your identity or have it plastered on your sleeve I am black, I am female, and I am gay I am me Take it or leave it Abuse it or beat it Lock me up and take my freedom I am me

How does it feel to be you Skin the standard of a beauty History books only speak your truth To not have to worry ‘bout the police Privilege to stand or stay a mute To only see it on the news I am black and I don’t get it I am black and won’t forget shit Understand me as a person that’s black and represent it I am me

How does it feel to be you God’s only living proof is just a regular dude Mother nature’s all around They say we came here through you

How does it feel to have the world Don’t have to change cuz you you Don’t have no shame cuz it’s “cute” A female that’s an equal; you’re a man you are too See my struggle, I see yours, we are one, came as two I am you

How does it feel to be normal Like really tell me what it’s like Never had a major issue Don’t know the damage of the eye Mastered the art of being blind Ain’t have your “normal” criticized I am black, I am female, and I am gay I am me Take it or leave it Abuse it or beat it Lock me up and take my freedom I am me
