To Be Myself

I can actually be around him now and not feel weird
I thought I'd start crying, that's what I had feared
But now that its been a while, I know that's not true
And finally I am this way, I know exactly what to do

I don't need to dodge him, I don't need to run away
I finally know now what it is I think I would say
I don't need to lie, I can be totally myself
And definately not pretend to be something else

I'm happy with the way things have turned out
I feel as if my pain was worth it, without any doubt
My days are getting better as they go on and on
And what I felt when I was sad has now finally gone

I just hope other people feel the way I do today
How I'm even fantastic, and not just only ever okay
I hope they know how it does eventually sooth
And how your life is most defintely going to improve

    Hey mate! Xavier and I both love this poem heeps and are so happy for you!

    Brilliant poem. I normally dislike rhyming poems but you have a knack at wording them well and not letting them be tacky!! Keep that ability ( 'and your ability to sing great folk songs' says Xavier ).

    Its really great to know that you are as fine as rain so so so so happy for you right now! Looks like there is nothing that you can't do... like driving or... bum bum bum SKY DIVING which you are bound to do!

    This poem is so uplifting and knowing that if it can happen to someone I immediatly know is really uplifting because it can happen in real life. . So inspiring... i want to go race around the world now because i think that i can do it! Really proud of you!

    - Keep up the knack,

    - Joey

    Nice optimistic verses. For a very long time I didn's see something like this poem on this site. Good rhyming, good flowing and expressed feelings. Wish you a lot of luck in your life and poetry.
