All I can be

All I can be

A Poem by SamBug

I don't want to be

the homecoming queen.

I don't care where I'm not

but where I am.

I don't need fancy things

to be happy.

 

I can accept that I'm not

the prettiest girl in the world

or the smartest

or the tallest.

 

I can deal with average looks

average height

and average size

because I know

in a deeper level

I am an individual;

someone you've never met before

someone who isn't stereotyped like the others.

 

I'm no prom queen,

extravagant actress,

nor a nobel prized scientist.

 

I'm me.

And that's as good as I can be.

well that sounds absolutely terrific to me. That is something that can be very hard to do at times. staying true to yourself. we have all these roles we have to play as we grow up through life. Playing these roles sometimes makes us forget who we really are. stay true. stay cool. stay you.

Yes you are, and yes it is.
The fact that you so often put others ahead of yourself, makes you Light.

Be well, Sam Lou.

I like this, you took something that people often over look or ignore and gave it a new life. I personally can relate and think alot of others will and have too.

"in a deeper level

Your poem is very beautiful. It's nice to see that you don't need all those fancy things to be happy and love yourself, no matter how other's view you. You always have to be true to yourself. Excellent.

Dear Sam,

Another nice poem. Being comfortable with yourself is important. It centers you so that you can move forward through the world and view it and deal with it rather than being overly caught up with yourself.

Nicely composed with a wonderful message. Greatly enjoyed.

Best regards,

Rick

Not many get a grip on who they are in the skin they live in, nor are able to more than accept themselves, and to revel in the idea that they can be productive and giving, not just one of the takers. Your poem here is enlightening as well as self probing. You seem to be candid, and yet not glorying in your stability.

"I am an individual;
someone you've never met before
someone who isn't stereotyped like the others."

I read your bio and can see why you seem so down to earth, having a reliance in the Lord Jesus Christ. This poem is well put together and interesting. Will love to keep reading.
