Who I Am

• Artist: Kyoko-san_Kokoro
• Description: I know it doesn't exactly seem like Poetry. But it sort of flowed out of me like it was. I wrote this not only to give myself a much needed boost, but to have struggling friends of mine read it, and say "You can say this too!"

At any given time,
I can be a rocker.
I can be a punk.
I can be little miss sunshine.
I can be Ms. Don't mess with me.
I can be a back woods or a city girl.
I can nerd it up with the guys, or gussy up with the girls.
I can feel at home in the country, singin along with a deep voiced man.
I can loosen up in the car, jamming to an electric guitar.
I have the heart of a child, the body of a woman, and the guts of any man out there.
I have the passion of a lover, the drive of a dreamer, and the creativity of an artist.
I love with all my heart.
I trust until proven untrustworthy.
I have insecurities.
I look into a mirror and see improvment.
I feel a need for adventure.
I need excitment.
I love what I do.
I put my all into everything.
I have dreams taller than the sky.
I aspire farther than I can probably reach.
I think deeply.
I need to express myself.
But most of all.
I love who I am.
I am happy with who I am.
No one can label me.
No one can place me.
No one can tell me I can't.
No one can tell me I'm not perfect.
Because I will tell them
No, I'm not.
But I never tried to be.
And I never will.
I am proud of who I am.
How far I have come.
And how far I will go.
Just try to stop me.
