Creativity

Why do
I love myself?

Because I am
full of personality
overflowing to the brim

I love to write
and I love myself
for writing

Stories
Poems
Anything

Full of ideas
and I love
to draw, too

I doodle
all over
everything

I draw people
animals
places

I love to sing
My voice
is everything

Broadway music
Country songs
Cantering at church

I dance
by myself
in my room

I don't like
to dance
in front of others
(I'm not very good,
you see)

But in private
I do
all the time

I love to be
my own person
no stereotypical
ideas about me

I may not have
everything
I want

But I have all I need

I love myself
Why?
