| Me, Myself and I |
| Complex and misunderstood Ugly but amazingly beautiful The layers and masks are many What am I hiding? Hiding the playful, humorous, funny personality that shares itself with deceit, pain, hurt and backstabbing I don't smoke, drink or do drugs I am a goody-goody But I lie, cheat, steal and swear What am I now? Emotional Tears to anger, anger to happiness A split second trip Quiet and shy So I'm stuck up or mad Shows what you know... My turn I'm an independent girl and a survivor of life A poet, an athlete I'm strong but I'm weak Not sure of what to do But that's who I am Take it or leave it. May 25, 2001 |
| The Meaning |
| This poem was written last year during my sophmore year of highschool as part of my scrapbook project for English 10. The assignment was to find a song or poem already written or write a song or poem that describes you. This is what I wrote. P.S. My favorite lines are "I don't smoke, drink or do drugs/I am a goody-goody/ but I lie, cheat, steal and swear/What am I now?". Just thought I'd say that. :) |
