I Am Me

I'm just a microscopic speck, yet
I am me.
They say that I'm not a person, yet
I am me.
I have no arms or legs, yet
I am me.
I'm just a gelatinous glob, yet
I am me.
I have no heart or brain, yet
I am me.
My fingers are only pins, yet
I am me.
My legs are only toothpicks, yet
I am me.
My head is just a lump, yet
I am me.
I have my heart and brain, yet
I am me.
My arms are fully formed, yet
I am me.
My body's fully formed, yet
I am me.
They say that I'm not human, yet
I am me.
My head is sticking out, yet
I am me.
They could kill me still, yet
I am me.
I am safely out, yet
I am me.
They say that I'm a person now, yet
I am me.
My DNA has never changed, yet
I am me.
