Individual (via 2001)
I am me. I am an individual
My friends
I refuse to be called “the MTV Generation”
I refuse to be called a member of “Gen X”
I am an individual that rebukes titles, stereotypes and labels
Am I classified as “individualistic?”
Even this title would place me into yet another group of poseurs
People that try to be different for difference's sake
I am me
I am me, not from the clothing I purchase
To the twisted dreams I dream
I am an individual
I am me
The diverse music I saturate does not define me
The music I detest does not define me
Neither interests nor disinterests make me who I am
Just as well as it doesn't define who I am not
My views on foreign and adjacent
Domestic relations cannot allude to who I am
For who I truly am will never change
Though my worldview may change with the rotation of day
I am me
An individual
One can affect me and attempt to persuade me
And even this cannot affect me and who I am by definition
Can who I am be even defined?
By no means is this possible
I refuse to be considered part of any group
Any title
Any form of classification
I am me
I am an individual
Yet I've taken part in much
I am by no means a “by-product”
I am not one of them
I am not one of you
I am me
I am an individual
