I'm not looking
for another
beginning
I'm not looking
for the ending
I'm just
traveling
the only way
I know how
I've made it
this far
And nothing is going
to keep me
from following
my heart
no matter who
you are
You can take
a good long look
at me
But you can keep
your opinions
to yourself
about what it is
you see
I know I'm not
a millionaire
but judging someone
by their monetary worth
just isn't fair
I may not live
the way you do
Just remember
that I'm me
and nothing you say
will turn me
into you
