Since I am new to this whole thing, this piece might help all of you out there to get a better understanding of the type of person that I am.


I am all that I can be.
nothing more and nothing less.
I live my life and walk
with my head held high.
I've allways tried to give
more than I've taken.
Though I am not ashamed of a helping hand.
That is just my way.
I work hard, and I take it easy.
I like coffee with LOTS of sugar.
I am true to myself
and I am there for my friends.
I love music, I love to sing.
I am very easily amused.
I love to smile, and laugh outloud.
I am happy with me.
And if I'm not good enough for you,
Well, that will be ok with me.

Welcome to Passions!

This is great, my friend. As long as you are comfortable with who you are, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks!

I really like this poem because in it you admit that you have shortcomings but you have no desire to be perfect. I think that's a lesson all people should learn. I like coffee with just a little sugar but LOTS of cream    Thanks for letting us glimpse into who you are, in fact I wish more people would post a poem like this so we could get to know them better.

Love,
Crystal

P.S. Feel free to E-mail me sometime at Crystalina123@yahoo.com!!

Maybe God has us meet a few wrong people so that when we meet the right one we can truly appreciate the gift.

well i really like this poem...i never thought that someone would write a poem about themselves and how they look at themselves...but if everyone did it we would look at them from a different point...cause alot of the poems are about getting a brokenheart or finding that special someone that you care about...but yours is different...you did it about yourself and i really like it...
