This is who I am...

I cannot hide my feelings and I cannot cover up my being
I am who I really am; and I'm all that you are really seeing
Nothing is ever borrowed and everything is authentic
I cannot be anyone else dear, I am naturally this poetic

This is who I am  and this is really me
Nothing is artificial: everything's what you see
I cannot change my being and I cannot be untrue
I am truly being my happiest when I'm doing what I do

I feel everything so deep inside me  and process all very slowly
My very first inclination is to be quiet; but, not lowly
Fanfare would appall me and so would any false grandeur
If you were being untruthful I would call you out, for sure

This is who I am  and this is really me
Nothing is artificial: everything's what you see
I cannot change my being and I cannot be untrue
I am truly being my happiest when I'm doing what I do

Something about that fakeness that's sweeping round and around
Has put me into a wonder: where is the realness to be found?
Too many the sheep and followers of the empty promise makers
Who will stand up to challenge those obviously gifted fakers

This is who I am and this is really me
Nothing is artificial and everything's what you see
I cannot change my being and I cannot be untrue
I am truly being my happiest when I'm doing what I do
