i am that i am

i am that i am belongs to the following groups:

Lesbian and Bi-Women's Art

take me as i am

not that which u want me to be

for i am who i am

i will twist myself into ur pretzle servant no longer

you will have to me to satisfy your hunger no more

i shall not cower in you presence

nor shall i b ashamed of my shortcommings

i am not a piece of silver to be heated and beaten to remove my imperfections

for it is these imperfections that make me who i truly am

u will taste the bitter sting of defeat by my hand

and it is i who will rise above

i am that i am

not that which the world wants me to be

    Powerful stuff. Even though I don’t really like the ‘txt speak’ writing!
    I love this line:

    ‘i will twist myself into ur pretzle servant no longer’
