Just Me

I wrote this with the intention for it to be kind of like a poem/song lyrics.

I’m trying my best

Remaining steadfast, steadfast

Working hard, being hopeful

Baby, will you see the strength in me

Will you believe in me

You must see that I’m only being me

Cuz who else would I really be trying to be

Give me a second chance, that’s all I need

Baby, will you do it just for me

Gaze into the future with me

What wonders do you see

Opportunities to succeed, shining brightly

Baby, will you see the strength in me

Will you believe in me

You must see that I’m only being me

Cuz who else would I really be trying to be

Please do love me, for who I am

Don’t think a second about who I’m not

Have faith in me that I’ll be the glimmering girl you see

Don’t hesitate to walk away

Cuz I need someone who will stay

Maybe it is not met to be this way

Maybe you will leave or you will stay

Baby, will you see the strength in me

Will you believe in me

You must see that I’m only being me

Cuz who else would I really be trying to be

Author's Note

Will you accept me for being me, whoever I choose to be?

Liked the simplicity of it. Felt real and like,..the emotions were well put out. Today in this new world we seek validation from the world/society thinking it's what makes us who we are (I personally don't believe in being someone everyone else wants them to be) and here this very lovely poem you're not only asking for acceptance but also for people to not judge you for being you. Again, I really liked reading this (read some of your work and I must say you are very versetile and different) you don't just stick to one genre..instead you write about different things in your poems. With that being said I just have one bad critique.... I CAN'T WRITE LIKE THIS SO I'M VERY JEALOUS..okay that wasn't bad. I have absolutely no bad words for this and it's (dare I say it)...PERFECT
Keep writing hey, I love your work

I like how simply this is put across, yet it carries a whole lot of truth with it; we all just want to be seen for who we really are.
Enjoyed it!
