Summary: This came to me while riding my bike to work, so I had to try and remember it until I got home later. Couldn't remember it all so this is what was left.

Me

I'm not old,
I'm not young,
can't you see?
I'm not smart,
I'm not dumb,
I'm just me.
Not somebody's daughter,
or mother, or wife,
so leave me alone
to get on with my life.
I don't need a label
to know who I am;
and I'll do anything
to break loose if I can.
To fulfil all my dreams;
be what I want to be,
not somebody else -
I just want to be me -
ok!

Brilliant, poems. It's so hard to be 'me', isn't it?

This made me think of a thought i'd had tonight... 'I might just be the kind of person who doesn't come back...' Enjoyed the rhymes. Nikki

Lovely - we all know how this feels. Wittily expressed, too.


Best,

Mike

Yes perhaps we should all 'be me' more in 2005!

Nothing wrong with you being 'me' poemsgalore - even though that sounds stupid, I'm sure you get me drift! If they don't leave you alone, smack 'em, with this poem! It will make you smile and make them think! Nice one

Peace and Love

It's a fun question to ponder - the notion of 'me-ness'. Are you really you, or a distillation of other people's perceptions of you? ;)

I like the idea of having an epiphany like this while riding a bike!

Nice!

Hi Poems,

Liked the idea ... finding your being outside of others labels ..that can so easily define and limit...

flowed like a bike ride too.
