Just Me: Part 2, Sitting On the Shelf

Just Me: Part 2, Sitting on The Shelf

I am just me.
That's all I am.
Nothing more.
Nothing less.
I am me!

Who else could I be?

But me. 
No one else I want to be.
But me.

And I then.
But what am I?
I only believe it to be.
No one else in me. 
But I you see, I.

Seeing this:
Can you see,
In this life, being me.
I live indeed in reality.

Sitting over there:
I'm up on the shelf.
Right there, write I. 
I said to myself.

I'm the writer, 
So, why am I sitting on the shelf?
My experiences in which passed.
I, a writer, usually write about,
Events that are shadowed hence. 

I'll try to write, 
The once-shared write, 
I've written right.

The writing I have done,
It's made me who I've become.
I, today that's me, a writer.

Don't ask me: 
Why this writing I must write.
But, if I'm mistaken, 
Then, this writer will be right.

Darlene De Beaulieu December 16, 2021 at 3:16 PM Hello William Darrell Sr. right! You are you and no one else but you. You can only be you. Being you the writer of poetry. so let the pen flow. Merry Christmas. Blessings. William Darnell Sr December 23, 2021 at 11:17 PM Hi, Darlene! Merry Christmas to you as well. And thank you, I hesitated about putting this one out here. It's corny awkward writing, haha. But for the sake of growing to be that better writer, I had to show my stumbling blocks. But thank you for your visit and comment; I value it. Sometimes you learn even more by words alone of the tone the comments carry. I hope you have a Blessed Christmas and ring in a great New Year, and I pray for good health and prosperity to the New Year rising. Be Blessed. Best of Wishes, William
