this came to me thinking about last night it's not great.

Living life is....

Takeing each day as it comes.
Thinking "happy thoughts".
Staying positive.
Living life is being able to laugh at yourself.
Watching a full grown cat act like a kitten.
Falling in and out of love.
Living life is going for what you want.
Picking up that phone and dialing.
Not worring what people think or what they say about you.
Living life is doing your own thing.
Not being afraid to flirt with the stranger next to you.
Being a friend.
Living life is pushing yourself.
Takeing risks.
Not planning everything.
Living life is getting rid of the destrutive parts of your life when you can.
Enjoying every moment you can.
Takeing the good with the bad.

Living life is being YOU.


"by takeing no risks you are really risking everything"
Vic's RE book

Aw, this is a nice message, Katiepoo.     Very precious.
I'd cut the repitition a teensie bit on this poem.  See how it works if you only say "living life is" at the start of every third line or so.  It might sound a bit better that way.
Only a small suggestion.  
Yours,

I really like this one.  Awesome message...  Sometimes you get so caught up in things and forget to live...  I like the way you showed all the simple things in life that make it so great.  Good job on this. ~adds this to my library~

If someboy laughs at me, does that make me funny or just plain stupid?

I really liked this one, Katie.  VERY positive outlook on life, despite all the challenges it throws at us sometimes.  I liked this otimistic view.  I needed to read something like this today, so thank you very much for sharing it.  It's very well written!

Your poem is erry good and it has a great message.I agree with you everyone should be themselves because that is what life is about. Because if you don't your not really liveg your life yur living for someone else.But anyway keep up the awsome work.

Your poem was really good. I really enjoy it. Well done.  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
