My World


from the ABC set Poems

Call me soft, call me weak, call me whatever you please
I don't mind, I don't care, that doesn't bother me
Take my laughter, take my sunshine, do the best you can
Take my breath, take my beat, I will rise again

You can do what you will, but nothing can bring me down
You can say what you want, but I can turn my ear
There is nothing you can do that will change where I am
You may try all you like, I'm not moving, I like it here

My world is my own, you can't change my mind
This is where I belong, I'm not going to leave
My wolrd likes me, it doesn't like you
So take all your sarcasm and go away

This is my place, these are my rules
If you don't like them then you should leave

And that's exactly what I want you to do
