I Am Me

I AM ME

 

I am confined within myself,

Never to be free,

Like a clown who helps us laugh,

Sadly, me; just me;

I could have been a physician,

Patching up the sick;

Or, maybe, a mysterious magician,

Playing a mystical trick,

But I am only a writer of poems;

Bad, at my best;

Not like an operator, on the phones,

Answering each request;

Yet, I do what I feel I should;

Why I cannot see;

I guess, it's not important to be good,

As long as I am me.

i absolutely loved this hun. i think most of us writers can relate to this. i know i can :)
I'm from india, where everyone aims to be a doctor or an engineer.
i feel so weird sometimes when i say " i want to be a writer"
but like you said, its who i am.
thanks for this one. i'm so glad i read it.

I love this, but I don't really agree. I think being you is never something to apologize for, or feel sad about. The world would definitely be a little dimmer if there wasn't a poet like you, writing and reviewing. I've only read two of your poems so far, but I don't think you're bad. In fact, I think they're great. This is fantastic. :D

I liked the message behind this piece. Indeed, we could not be anyone else but us. We could excel in our own chosen field anyway. Great write!

It is important to be you. No one would ever know the beautiful words from your heart that you write. Keep following your dream!

Staying true to your heart is what matters.
