I'M Just

I'm just
_______________________

I'm just an arubix cube,
give me a little spin
see what info you shall gain
if I choose to let you in.

I'm a mix of puzzle pieces,
some that might not fit
just try to figure me out
before you decide to quit.

I'm just ragged shirt,
someone chose to throw away
it's okay to try me on
if you want me to stay.

I'm just a pair of shoes,
I lack a little shine
but someday I could look brand new
if you could take the time.

I'm just a diamond in the rough,
needing edges more refined
if you could get to know me
I could make you really shine.


So before you even realize,
you'll know me a little more
and don't be so surprised
when I decide to shut that door.

Everyone has their, that's enough,
that's all you need to know
just feel blessed you know that much
and then simply let it go.

Seriously I really love this poem. Sometimes people need some effort to know who we are and what is our value.
