Michelle Etienne Poet Rhyme

This is me

Why do you wonder who I might be 
why I make the decisions I make
 all because its me
living in a world always trying to please 
overlooking my needs
all because its me
Making many mistakes ending last or 
starting over
all because its me
Not trying to be someone im not
faking to please all others 
all because its me
inside I struggle with pain and cry inside
never asked me once how I feel or my I cry
all because its me
my world is not your world I want to be free
live my life to choose my own path
I dont give a damn what society thinks I should be
Im living my life for me
all because its me
this is who I am

Alison A Smith August 21, 2026 at 9:54 PM A raw, powerful declaration of selfhood and the need to be seen beyond other people’s expectations. The repeated “all because it’s me” becomes an insistent, heartfelt refrain, carrying both the speaker’s hurt and their hard-won resolve to live freely.
