Let me be.

I was once a baby
Oh,Baby boy, its time for blue.
Oh, Baby girl, its time for pink.
I said let me be.

Around me , they said
A girl I am,
Liked Football a lot,dancing a little less,
More shorts,not really skirts.
A boy I was
Liked the teddies, soft or hard
Cried a lot, tears or none.
I said let me be.

Dreamt to be actor or singer
A designer or farmer
Even doctor or engineer
It not matter,
At work, am happy .

So,I said let me be.

A lover that I am
Loved a man , woman, both or neither
Does it matter!
Love is all that is.

Married now or never
Is it different?
True to any relationship if one can be.

Children ,bundles of joy, a choice
Mine or yours
Irrelevant , as happiness if it exists.

So I said let me be.

Let me choose, dream, want and live
Let me cry, laugh and do it all
I am here, now and then gone
So, just let me be.
