![]() I'm the Man I Want to BeA Poem by Poet Pittinix![]() This is a poem about the author.![]() I look at myself in the mirror, And I like the person whom I see People can say whatever they want I’m honestly happy to be me The length of my hair is my business I only wear clothes that I like Why should I change my appearance? Faultfinders will never be satisfied I can't follow the confusing rules, But I'm not the worst person on earth It’s too difficult to please others, So I do everything to please myself Even if I become like someone else, I’d still be an imperfect man There's no faultless human being I love myself; I’m the man I want to be Don’t tell me how to live my life I’m fed up with the dictations of society It’s time to make my own decisions From now on I’ll live the life I want I’m a writer of Jamaican nationality, And Patios is my native tongue I also speak in the Queen's English, But I don’t twang like a dry land tourist I'm a plain and outspoken person I don't put up with nonsense Most of the time I keep to myself I get a better feeling when I’m alone Although I’m a multi-skilled person, I don’t have to prove myself in any field Frankly, I don’t impress people And nobody can easily impress me I strongly disapprove of certain formalities They aren’t advantageous to me Formalities originate from different cultures I see no moral values in these things Nobody can shove philosophy down my throat I don’t want to hear anything from anybody If I listen to every opinion, I’ll become a fanatic Leave me alone, I’m the man I want to be © 2024 Poet PittinixAuthor's Note
