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,
