I am Only ME...

I am only me, that is all that I can be

No more, no less, don’t second guess

I love, I laugh, I live and cry,

I’ve wished at times, that I could die

Some days I’m funny, others I’m not,

sometimes I’m in overdrive and can’t stop

I am a loyal and honest friend,

You know that I’ll be there until the end

I am a daughter, my parents are my greatest gift,

The smiles on their faces always give me a lift

I am a sweet,funny and passionate too,

to the love of my life, I’ll share this with you

I can be sweet and shy or sassy and bold,

I’m quite a handful, or so I’ve been told

I am not perfect, I do have my faults,

like when I get scared I put up high walls

Or I’m not as forgiving, as I’d sometimes like to be,

because when I hurt, I hurt deeply

My logic is all my own, at times misunderstood,

because I don’t always do things for my own good

I have many facets, like a diamond you see…

I am only me.
