I am who I am: A poem

Hai Guys,
Okay my fellow Blogians. I don't know if you know it but I am a poet (I hate rhymes. I hate them) Anyways this is a poem I wrote today

Enjoy!


I’m not the person that you want me to be
and I don’t think it’ll ever happen
that fictional character you’ve created for me in your mind
Is only a dream that won’t come true.
sure I’m a little crazy, and sure I can’t always think straight
But I am who I am and who says thoughts have to be in straight lines anyways
I don’t want to be disappointment
But if that’s what I am to you
A rainbow haired, foolish girl who won’t live up to your expectations
Then drop that bar because it’s not going to happen
I’m tired of reaching out and grabbing at something that is above my head
and yes, that was a short joke
and yes I laugh at those too.
So Sure I’m a little off balance and sure I like it barefoot
But I am who I am and those shoes are prisons for your feet so why wear them anyways
I believe in Nargles
and I remember the memories given to me by those I’ve lost
I think carrots are magical
and music is momentous
I believe in magic and fairies
and I’m still a child underneath so please don’t break me.
And sure I cover my face in makeup and sure I jingle when I walk
But I am who I am and jingling is a fun way to express your feelings
My parents are always there for me
I have a family like everyone else
I use mouthwash and sometimes I floss in between for hours just for fun
And I read fantasy and disappear for hours
Can you believe that people can be so judgmental?
So sure I drink monsters often and sure I wish I had a moustache
But I am who I am and moustaches are awesome so keep laughing
Now I can’t honestly say that Ill change
but I know that I’ve thought about it.
Your words and actions hurt when you
attack, or whatever you want to call it
I’m not calling myself a victim
Because I don’t want to be just another one
I want to be normal but I know it’s not going to happen
Just like that dream you have
Of me being the perfect girl.
Because I enjoy the unreal
And I believe in the fake and false
I’m a gullible person
who is sure of very few things
But I’m sure that I love cookies and that I can’t stop thinking about you sometimes
and I am who I am and you are constantly in my mind
I am who I am
And whatever that is, whatever I am
Is what I want to be. I want to be me.


Peace in (not out) and keep on being oddsome
