I am me

I've always wondered what you think you think

when you look at me.

 

Do you notice my big brown eyes?

Or a empty soul that screams & cries.

 

Do you like my curly hair?

Or is it just too ugly to bear.

 

Do you think I'm sweet and nice?

Or that I have a heart made of Ice.

 

Do you think my body is fit?

Or maybe not even in the slightest bit.

 

Whatever you might think, I am me.

And thats what I'll always be.

Thanks you guys, I really appreciate it!

I really should avoid reviewing others writings while I am drinking - while alcohol may be sufficient for my own writings, I fear that in reading others it does more harm than good. So I pray you will forgive me should I ramble too long - as I am now - or if I cause offence.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this poem, the rhyme was sweet, naively beautiful. There was no attempt to reach for a thesaurus but rather what we find penned is honest and all the better for it.

The subject of the piece speaks to many if not all, for I think our greatest fears are always about how others perceive us. I am currently reading The Immoralist by Andre Gide and there is a lovely quote in it - don't ask where I read it at some point during this evening - and it is I think wonderfully apt to the sentiment here:

"It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not."

So thank you for sharing this delightful piece, apologies for my inebriated ramblings - I am not that much better sober I am afraid - and I look forward to reading more of your work.
