I am who I am
I wrote this poem almost 4 years ago... I feel I've grown quite a bit since then, so there are a few things that are a little different, yet much of it still rings true.
I have long black hair and light brown eyes.
My room is a mess and I hate lies.
I am who I am. Don’t try to change me.
I’m not gonna change if you don’t like what you see.
Sometimes I am strong. Sometimes I am weak.
Someday I’d like to climb a high mountain peak.
I play the piano. I am an athlete.
I love going barefoot, but I’ve got big feet.
I don’t enjoy science. I do like math.
When I need to relax, I just take a bath.
I can hide my true feelings, it’s easy to do.
I can smile, I can laugh, but it may not be true.
Some say I am pretty but I think they are wrong.
“The Rose” is my most favorite song.
I like to act. I like to recite.
In case you didn’t know 5'6" is my height.
I don’t like to cry where people can see.
It’s hard to let others see my identity.
I like playing with make-up and watching a game.
I’m a complex girl, but I’m pretty sane.
I might get pissed off, but I will not show it.
I like to write poetry, but I’m not a good poet.
If I’m really upset or my heart has a dent,
then I’ll tell God and He’ll wait while I vent.
God knows how I feel and won’t get me all riled.
And I know that He won’t make me feel like a child.
I like to sit and analyze the world around me.
That way I know what it is that surrounds me.
I do not believe in love at
first sight.
When my sister’s around, we get in a fight.
My goal in this life is to change someone’s life.
To mean something to them. To help them through strife.
To be more than just a regular friend.
To imprint a memory that will never end.
I’d like to be remembered as someone who did
everything that she could to help someone succeed.
I want to help achieve someone’s goal.
I want to be the one to intertwine with their soul.
Anyone can listen or pretend to, at least.
I want to be more than some human beast.
If I had not lived, or I ceased to be,
would that affect someone’s life tremendously?
As of right now, I don’t think so,
but maybe with time, my dream can grow.
I don’t know what I’ll be. And right now I don’t care.
As long as it is God’s Love I can share.
Whether music be a hobby, or music be a passion.
I don’t want to work so to live in a mansion.
I want to live so that I am remembered.
