I am always I

I am not always happy

I don’t always feel free

I am not always lonely

but I am always me

.

I’m not always naughty

I don’t often feel shy

I am not always hungry

but I am always I

.

I am not always sleepy

I don’t often cry

I’m not always messy

but I am always I

.

I’m not always nice

I don’t always try

I am sometimes forgetful

but I am always I

.

once I was two

for a while I was three

I am not always four

but I am always me

.

sometimes I’m lazy

but I don’t ever lie

I am not always cheerful

but I am always I

.

I’m not always right

but I do what I can

I may not be perfect

but I am what I am

.

Everything Changes

so what can I be

I cannot be anything

but I am always me

.
