The Me Within

Now when I Smile I feel it’s coming from the Heart Not like I Used to smile when I did it for Likes... Something has changed in me or maybe Rearranged to be What I am Now is no longer behind Closed Doors... I am Changing… I have to tell it like it is... No Disrespecting…. How you choose ~ Your Choice to live I know that I’m Changing Words flow out My mind I’m More understanding What’s Good I'll do this time Yes, I am Changing… Into the Someone I've always been... The Me within...

What a creative write. Some change as they age for the better and some do not. I guess we all live with the me within. Just some do it better than others. You are a wonderful writer. Wish you would write more. Have a blessed day writing away.....................

Very impressed with you! Not only as a poet, but your genuineness. I know it's nothing near the changing we do in order To be better. That's baloney. You discoverd the you who you always have been is the you today. You met yourself, that's transformational.. That's how I see this. Panagiota

You are right...you spend most of your life trying to recreate yourself only to end up where you started...with you...

now what you need is a preserving agent...a term for that is 'slow-down' : )

There is nothing more important to change into than your true self, my friend. It is never completely done, but the journey is wonderful! "when words flow out of my mind" - this happens and I think "where did THAT come from?" giving Trixie all the credit, when I know some of it has to be me.

We can be so multi dimensional and yet be one...it's a balancing act...giving credit where credit is due...All the best Caren

Perfectly penned... A bit of ancient wisdom is perhaps in order: The Sages wrote that the mark of a true scholar-saint is that his insides are exactly like his outside. Seems relevant to your wonderful write, Arturo! Best wishes, gw

This is great Arturo. Funny how we change with age, I guess it's true...the older we get the wiser we get. Too many people have fake smiles but when it comes from the heart it really shows. Have a great day...

Hello Charles, thanks for the Big Up... but you know, you got to put something on before you go out side, and for the fortunate a smile can get them by...not an easy ting to shake off
