It's Not Easy Being Me

It's not easy being me
The little scared
Brown eyed girl
Of which I am

I cry in a silent way
I'm funny in my own say
I'll love you till I die
Even if you make me cry

Even if she's 
Trapped in me
I'll always hear
Her silent screams

It's not easy being me
The silly little
Brown haired girl
Of which I am

Even if nature
Takes her away
I'll always be
The scared little girl

It's not easy being me
For though I am the
Silly, little scared brown
Eyed and brown haired girl

I like the way you have separated yourself to being me and the little brown eyed girl, very well written. Warm regards, Laura.

Thanx Linda* I will most definitely write again. I do have a lot of poems to post, some in afrikaans lol but I guess it's only english poems that are allowed?
