This poem was written for my english class...The first two words in every line were given and I had to write the rest!!--Enjoy!!


I Am Me And That's All I Can Be
~*~

I am me, and that's all I can be.
I wonder if people wish I was diffrent.
I hear peoples perception of what "we" should be.
I see people trying to change who they are.
I won't be like that.
I am me, and that's all I can be.
~*~
I pretend nothing's wrong in public if there is.
I feel bad for some one in pain...
I touch air, reaching for a hand,
I worry I won't find one.
I cry when some one I love is hurt, well..
I am me and that's all I can be
~*~
I understand that life isn't all wishes,
I say your life is what you make of it...
I dream my wishes and,  
I try to make them real.
I hope I can achieve my goals, but..
I am me and that's ALL I can be.
~*~

LiLOnE,
So true what you have written. One can only be "me", no one else can they be, no matter how hard they try. Nicely done.
