ME

who else

I'm eclectic, electric

living a life that's hectic

a dreamer who stops and thinks

and chases them into reality

 

I control my emotions

music, words and thought

self expression  ,  my art 

 

I'm your best friend

or your worst enemy

I leave that to you

and even then, if you need help

I'm there to give you a hand

 

I say my church is pine scented

my body a temple

I understand faith, hope, and love 

pause in the still for buddhism

can light the fire of the kundalini

and I have loved a muslim

 

I make my own rules

because it's my life

my path, my decisions

if you cant handle it , walk on by

 

I can handle the rain

you won't stop my parade

I keep marching

and live for each day

 

label me, call me names

I've heard them all

I know who I am

I love it , Life 

my Life

Me

Yes! Learning to love the person you are sounds simplistic... but many fail miserably, thus their hateful expressions/outbursts. It sounds cliche, but the bully is always a person uncomfortable within their own skin. They lash out to make people feel small like they do. Your writing is inspirational & uniquely you.

[roarke]

all that and a pair of chic Foster Grant's..... I think if we look back at all it took to discover who we are, we might never have gone looking. Yet most people wander aimlessly around proclaiming their identities through brands and affiliations, which have nothing to do with the inside, the essence of spirit and soul and the crucible fired to cast it.
Welcome the self and continue the adventure.

Worth reposting and reaffirming!

Central to loving and understanding your fellow man is to love and understand yourself. Truer words can not be spoken. Great work!

[Frank F. Atanacio]

this was an explosive read-- fast, charged and full of well.... ME or in this case YOU

[Kerry O'Connor]

Oh this is very good - I fully endorse all the sentiments you have expressed - every one should be free to be their own ME.

YES ~ you are unique, which befits this celebration of who you are, no matter how different others may view you ! We are not always our best judge, but to have learned to be comfortable with ones' strengths and weaknesses, and to bravely portray what you love best about yourself is most encouraging and inspiring, Robin !!
BRAVO :)

I love this poem. We have to be true to ourselves and if others don't like it well sorry they didn't take the time time to see deeper. I love how you expressed this and the thoughts are clearly portrayed throughout this piece.
