The Things I'M Not

The Things I'm Not Aren't The Things I want I don't want to be tall I don't want to be pretty or cute I don't want to be admired I don't want to be envied I don't want to be bashed for what I am I am short, And I am beautiful, And I am intelligent I am kind, and funny too. So No, I Do Not Need Those Things.

A very beautiful written poem, we should all look forward to our strengths remember no one is perfect everyone has his/ her downfalls just have proudness on whatever you have however I ve added my new poem and would really appreciate if you could find time to read my poem and give your honest reviews about them (I shall never see you again)
