Some lyrics I heard on the way into the office today that struck a chord with where I am always trying to keep myself in life.<\/p>\n

La Cage Aux Folles<\/a> –


\nI am what I am
\nI am my own special creation.
\nSo come take a look,
\nGive me the hook or the ovation.
\nIt’s my world that I want to take a little pride in,
\nMy world, and it’s not a place I have to hide in.
\nLife’s not worth a damn,
\n‘Til you can say, “Hey world, I am what I am.”
\nI am what I am,
\nI don’t want praise, I don’t want pity.
\nI bang my own drum,
\nSome think it’s noise, I think it’s pretty.
\nAnd so what, if I love each feather and each spangle,
\nWhy not try to see things from a diff’rent angle?
\nYour life is a sham ’til you can shout out loud
\nI am what I am!
\nI am what I am
\nAnd what I am needs no excuses.
\nI deal my own deck
\nSometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces.
\nThere’s one life, and there’s no return and no deposit;
\nOne life, so it’s time to open up your closet.
\nLife’s not worth a damn ’til you can say,
\n“Hey world, I am what I am!”<\/center><\/p>\n
