Proud to Be Me

We live in a world of people trying to be something they're not.
People with hidden obsessions and fake identities.
Don't get me wrong, sometimes I become like this,
But why hide who you are?
I for one am proud to be me.
I'm one of those dorks who's good at math.
You know the one who aces all math test.
I'm the girl who no one seems to notice.
The one who notices those around her
And is too smart for her own good.

I'm the girl who never breaks the rules
And is never late for class.
But it really doesn't matter
When I'm just being me.
I'm the girl who is sheltered from the world
Yet has lived outside the bubble.
I'm the girl who gets along with all the teachers.
I'm the one who enjoys talking to others.
I'm the girl who is positively optimistic.
And I'm proud to be me.

I'm Courtnie Mustain.
I'm seventeen years old,
And I'm proud to be me.
