I Am Me

A poem I had to write for English that I got really into

I am limited

A flower waiting to bloom

Seeing others doing things I can’t

Why can’t I do them too?

I am one person out of just about 7.2 billion souls

Being individually depicted-how?

I need to stand out

Be myself amongst the largest crowd

They see things I don’t

In just about every way possible

How can I get them to see what I don’t

Without seeming  sorrowful or hostile?

I am Rebecca

Crazy how seven letters can define a person

It’s more than that

Seven letters hold seven billion emotions

Sometimes they get the best of me

Managing to change a sunny day to one that is cloudy and remorseful

If only there were one happy state

That made the world seem a little more hopeful

I am in a little suburban town

Where people know their neighbors

It’s like a little family

Where people hold a liking for kind and generous behaviors

I am me because nobody can do it better

I am a crazy whirlwind of emotion

If someone wanted me to be someone else

That’s their problem with no solution

It is hard to be unique when you think of the fact there is over seven billion of us, but you say it well when you say that you can only be you and no one can do that better. We can only be the best me we can be and hope that the me we are will make people want to know us better.
Great write. Thank you for sharing.

Feel free to review the other two pieces that I put up. One of them is a poem, and one of them is like a journal entry :)

I have them on my reading list. Will definitely read them later today.
