On My Sleeve

Fifteen years of existence,

and what do I have to show?

A lot more then you think,

a lot more then you know.

My name, it does not matter,

but all I want out of life is to live.

There's so many things that I can't wait to do,

so many things that I would like to give.

I'd love to be the cure for cancer,

be a hero among men,

but someone as nervous as I

may not like all of the attention.

I just want to contribute,

to share all of my thoughts.

Leave a piece of history,

help people through tight spots.

I'm flawed, as are all of us,

maybe just a little too much?

Stubborn, lazy, and argumentative too,

I know it's obvious that it's true.

White skinned, brown haired, brown eyed teen,

that's all there is really to be seen.

I don't hide anything, I wear it all right on my sleeve,

my name, it does not matter, but this is pretty much me.

BRAVO!

Well, it's the first one of it's kind I've found on Writerscafe.. A person can find a lot of poems amounting to "this is me" pretty much, but none as well written as yours. Nice choice of words, good rythm.. Over all, I think you did a great job. I really like it.

[Paige Hensel]

This is really great. I adore it.
