I Am Me

 

I am who I am 

If you don't like who you see here

Keep it to yourself 

And come back in a couple of years 

I am who I am 

Though I'll not be like this forever 

Everybody changes, going through life

Like a drifting feather 

I am who I am

A star in a galaxy 

I shine in my own way 

As you must surely see 

I am who I am 

I don't like everything about me 

But parts will fall off and new branches will grow

Just like a sprouting tree 

I am who I am 

Beautiful 

Bright

And absolutely me

I like this poem. The premise reminds me of a poem I wrote a month ago called "What is a Man? (God not this crap again)" I was poking fun at all the "what is a man" poetry that had been popping up lately with a self descriptive piece like this one though style was radically different. Yep. I like this poem.

You defined yourself and also others who think that they are independent and spirited with personality of her/his own.Every individual is different and thus needs to be treated with care.
Very thoughtful and illuminating write.

This poem is true. People tend to judge others by looks, and how people act. But this is what makes us.. us. We are who we are. Good write! :D

A good view to have. Once you break the chains of caring what other people think, you will truly be free.

I like the metaphors though the metaphor in the second stanza sounded a little incomplete to me. Still it reminded me, for the briefest of moments, of something written by Dr. Suess.

[Rhea752]

Technically it's a simile.... you can punch me now :P thank you for the review. And i noticed the incompleteness as well I just don't know what to do about it. Thank you once again :)

[Jason White]

Pshaw! Me being wrong is nothing new or something to get worked up over. Simile it is, and you are quite right. Let me pull out my '+2 boxing gloves of logic bursting' and punch around that simile a bit and see what shakes loose.

A common simile is 'He fights like a lion.'
(He) is (like a lion) because of how they both (fight).

(Everybody changes) is (like a drifting feather) because of how they both (go through life).
Neither 'a drifting feather goes through life' nor 'everybody changes goes through life' seems to make sense to me, so I can't use the comparison to bridge the gap to the other.

Does that help?

[Rhea752]

Ya thank you :P
