The real me

by Shellaine shelli   Jun 24, 2008


I need to take a breath
to ease my pain.
I need to hold it all in
and face the day...

But today I'm going to go out
and am going to show the world the
real me...
For the real me is
all I have to offer...
I'm sick of living the lie
aka, my lonely life...
I'm not going to hide my feelings...
I'm going to show the world that
my life to has a meaning
and I'm not as useless as they think...
I refuse to follow in his shoes
pitying myself for another drink.

I'm going to hold on and stay strong,
I'm going to do the things she didn't get around to do...
although my heart is still
drowning in the pain,
I think its going to be okay
and through this my self respect will be
gained.

I'm not going to live this life...
I'm not going to waste another day
I'm going to stand tall and let my passion lead the
way...
when they tell me I
need to go
I'm going to stay and show them I'm
not as small as they think
and my mistakes of the past are not going to last...
Its time to let go,
time to break free
and show the world ...
THE REAL ME!!!!!!

    Wow, you've got me hooked, i need more of your poetry. I have never even thought to write something like this. This is very amazing, and moving. Keep writing. Alot of people, including me, can relate to this but do not have the courage to crawl out of your shell. And even if you have not put your words to action, just writing about it means you have hope, and that makes you very strong. Take care. 5/5
