I am only me,
That's all I can be
No more, no less,
Don't second guess

I love, I laugh,
I live and I cry,
I've wished, at times
That I could die

Some days I'm funny
Others I'm not,
Sometimes I'm in overdrive
And cannot stop

I am a loyal
And honest friend,
You can know I'll be here
Until the end

I am a mother,
My children... my greatest gift,
The smiles on their faces
Always give me a lift

I can be sweet and shy
Or sassy and bold,
I'm quite a handful
Or so I've been told

I am not perfect,
I do have my faults,
Like when I get scared
I put up high walls

My logic is... all my own,
At times... misunderstood,
Because I don't always do things
For my own good

I have many facets,
Like a diamond, you see
I am only "Me"
And that's all I can be....
