    If I Was Really Me
    If I was really me, I'd be happier you see
    For happiness does lie beneath my skin
    My jokes are a refrain, to ease another's pain
    And I know my Design is joy within

    If I was really me, then I'd let others see
    That joy and pain are two-sides of a coin
    We laugh instead of cry, just like we live and die
    And giggles always make us want to join

    If I was really me, then I would feel quite free
    To share my feelings with those strange or known
    Not ashamed to fail or say that I feel frail
    For these are traits that show how much I've grown

    If I was really me, hey wait, I AM...YIPPEE
    My life is mine and that is great to know
    I can love or lose, life is mine to choose
    And this my vow to NOT be STATUS QUO!

    Writer, I love how free flowing, quirky, and whimsical this poem reads. A rhythmic rhymer that even laughs at oneself. ginga

    Thanks for your comment, Ginga. I do believe in laughing at myself, to the point of MUCH self-deprecation. But isn't that something to which we can all relate? :) I so appreciate your taking the time to read and comment!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
