Who I Am

I am who I am
If you don't like what you see
Then don't bother wasting your time with me

Money can buy me diamonds and gold
It can buy me fancy houses and cars
It can even buy me a circle of "friends"

But money won't buy me happiness or love
It will never buy me true friendship
And it certainly will never buy my way into Heaven

Why should I worry whether people see me as rich or poor
Why should I worry if I am seen shopping at the local Wal-mart
Only the ignorant will judge a book by its cover

I am who I am
If you don't like what you see
Then don't bother wasting your time with me

I don't pretend to be something that I am not
I have no need to impress anyone
Nor do I have anything to hide

I am always here for those who need a helping hand
Whether it is for an ear to listen or a shoulder to lean on
I treat people the way I wish to be treated

I live my life for God
I live my life for my family
I live my life for myself

I am who I am
If you don't like what you see
Then don't bother wasting your time with me
