Not Here To Please You

I Please Myself.

You don't like my hair,

So what!

I don't care,

You don't like my clothes,

When did I start dressing as you, anyway?

You don't like my body,

Nobody tells me I should look a certain way!

You don't like my build,

I'm healthy, and that's okay,

You don't like my attitude,

Well, this is my say,

You don't like my personality,

At least I own it!

Let me send you a personal message;

I'm not here to please you,

This is my life;

I'm going to live it anyway,

You don't have to like it,

But I love it;

Nobody said, you have to stay!
