I Am

I love Christina Aguilera. I love her voice, her talent, her kick-ass attitude, and her powerful belief in herself. Listening to her music you can tell she's been through a lot and she's come out the other side a fighter. She inspires me. Her newest album, Bionic, has even more of her can-do attitude and power songs with a bit of a new sound. Her song 'I Am' is one I listen to all the time.


I Am

"I am timid and
I am oversensitive
I am a lioness
I am tired and defensive
You take me in your arms
And I fall into you
I have insecurities
You show me I am beautiful

Love me or leave me
Just take it or leave it
It's not that I'm needy
Just need you to see me

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

I am temperamental and
I have imperfections and
I am emotional
I am unpredictable
I am naked
I am vulnerable
I am a woman
I am opening up to you

Love me or leave me
Just take it or leave it
It's not that I'm needy
Just need you to see me

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

Now I stand before you with my heart in my hands
I'm asking you to take me just the way that I am
Please lay down your arms
Do you know me, make me feel safe from harm

Oooh just take me, free me, see through to the core of me
See through, take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

I am temperamental and
I have imperfections and
I am emotional
There'll be no more pretending"

If you want to listen to it, type in Christina Aguilera in FB search and click on the Bionic tab on her page. Near the end of the list is the song.

I've been wanting to make my own list of "I Ams" so here goes:


I Am
Human
A Woman
A Mother
A Wife
A Sister
A Daughter
A Friend

I Am
Sensitive
Emotional
Beautiful
Unique
Creative
Slightly Broken
and Damaged

I Am
Easily Stressed
Lacking Energy
A Daydreamer
In Love With Music
Attracted to Laughter
Wishful
Lonely

I Am
Stubborn
Disappointed
Struggling
Angry
Impatient

Ready To Take Charge. I Am

That is what I would tattoo on my wrist. Only in a prettier script. I want to do it because I would be branding myself with what I think of myself. I would be marking my control/taking control over my body.
