Wish Away My Day

I'm just a girl I can't be more I don't have fans swinging through my door I don't have much my family's poor My reputation sucks and my life's a bore Everyday I watch them score They're on the news or Become worldwide cuz there education is sure I'm only a kid in the downpour Standing still just waiting for a cure It's never gonna come my minds a war So I'm not famous What can I say I'm not like them But I'll wish away my day So I'm not perfect I'm just me Exactly who I want to be I'm not special that's plain to see Just an old country girl from Tennessee Nobody knows me I'm not on tv There's a lock and success and I don't have the key Just a girl who's name is Marie Not a person who has there own cd Not a star everyone can agree It's towering above me like a tree Not even smart, without a degree Popularity doesn't seem to be my cup of Tea Gems in the sky That's what we are Please don't like lie We won't say goodbye Cuz we all shine bright It's all in our sight If we open out eyes And ignore the lies And nobody dies We've all grown wise It's in your eyes That we're all gems in the sky So I'm not famous What can I say I'm not like them But I don't have to wish away my day So I'm not perfect I'm just me Exactly who god Meant me to be

Hi Marie. I'm from Tennessee too and I think your poem is very special. You might want to change "out" to "our" in the 4th verse though. Otherwise, very nice! :) Carole

just being you is the best thing one can do. your fascinating words will take you to the different way they won't let you be the another head in crowd. just trust them and yourself and see how it goes. #bighug #insomesamedelimma

Hey guys, so I just wanted to say I posted this because hopefully it's relatable, we all want to be celebs and stars, but the meaning is we don't have to be one to be a star. All of us already are, your just how god made you, and that's someone special. Hope you like it,
