Just Being Me

I like myself unconditionally and I'm happy being me
I owe it to myself in the way it should be
I am worthy of love and all the happiness
I am a person of sharing,caring and the togetherness

I am a gentle person and patient with myself
I just occasionally sit on a shelf
I am a person that bounces back whenever I am down
I know in the end, I am laughing like a clown

I am determined and I can be very tough
I can lift myself up when things get rough
I can be very scared and not in line
I keep telling myself that I will do fine

I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face
I have a big adrenalin rush and staring into space
I feel in my heart that I will do well
I am determined, can you tell?

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
