I Choose to be Me!
I am Me!
I am no one else.
I am not part of the crowd,
not the person who
is always where people are.
I am the one
who likes to wander and explore.
I would like to stray from the crowd,
and go to places no one has ever seen.
There are two choices in life:
To be part of the crowd,
or to be different and distinct.
I choose to be the latter.
I choose to be Me!
I choose to strive
for what I like
and for what I believe in.
I choose to be different,
I choose to be Me!

Well stated affirmation of personal choice
It would have been better to use your own wording completely to be truly "different and distinct" though 
-
This is an emphatic statement of individuality. I'm like that too, I don't realize that I am different because I'm doing what I think needs to be done. The repetition of "I choose" gives a clear message that we are choosing too, even if it is conformity. Good luck!

I like the strong proclamation and the sense of deep personal conviction that I feel when I read your words here. It's powerful and enlightening. Good luck in the contest!
