Being Me

Being Me

Being me is hard, you see

Much harder than being you.

If you were me then you would see

The things I have to do.

Being me, I truly think

Is a curse from Hell,

Which is why I have decided

To be someone else!

Oh me Oh my, it seems that I

Have done something quite wrong.

My new body's old and rotten,

I used to be young and strong!

It seem I must my plan adjust

For I am quite upset.

This time I swear I will prepare,

And age I won't forget.

Now that I am another man-

oh wait, this is a whirl,

There's not much joy, for once a boy

I am now a girl!

Now here I sit and must admit

This mission had no hope.

But now I see that being me

Is what I like the most.

Now let me say, after this day

I know one thing is true,

Being us, my friend, is just

What we were born to do!

Author's Note

I decided to move away from the more serious tone I usually write with.

This is inspiring to me for me to just be myself. I loved how it was serious yet sprinkled with just a hint of humor. I love it. It is a great piece. It is awesome.
