Kay Cassio Poet Rhyme

Don'T Tell Me Who To Be

I viewed myself as worthless
Because at the time I was a mess.
I look at myself by how I feel.
I wish this part of me wasn't real.
I feel sorry for myself.
It's bad for my health.
What do others see,
When they look at me?

I still have junk that I need to confess,
Junk that I still need to address.
Happiness is something that someone can steal.
People can hit me till I fall down and kneel.
You can put me on a shelf
and make me look stealth.
But from now on, I will see the good in me.
So please don't tell me who to be.

Bethany St John April 10, 2015 at 6:06 PM I really enjoyed this poem. So often we can only see our mistakes and mess-ups or we listen to others who tell us we are worthless. I've been there many times, but have come to understand that I am more than my mistakes and am here for a greater purpose...and so are you! :) great write my friend.
