I normally don't write poetry because my brother has always been the poet and writer in the family. But for some reason these words have been rumbling through my head so I decided to write them down. This is rough so it's not perfect.
So here we go...
I AM ME
I am me
I can only be me because I am who I am
I cannot be who or how you want me to be
Because I am me
I tried to conform or do things
as people expect them to be
But in the end I am still me
Thinking being like someone else
Trying to live their life
Want their things and do what they do
But I can't
Because I am me
I'm not perfect and never claimed to be
But I know I have a good heart, mind and soul
Because I am me
There are only a few things I can do
Exactly like others
Breathe, feel and bleed
But other than that
I am me
Just let me be who I am
Embrace who I am
Live my life to the fullest
Do the best I can
I can be happy doing the one thing I know how
and that is being me
I cannot and will not change
So let me be
I am me....I am me....I am me!
