I Am Only Me

Praveen Kumar 1 min read
I am only me
I am only me, that is all that I can be No more, no less, don't second guess
I love, I laugh, I live and cry, I've wished at times, that I could die
Some days I'm funny, others I'm not, sometimes I'm in overdrive and can't stop
I am a loyal and honest friend, You know that I'll be there until the end
I am a father/mother, my children my greatest gift, The smiles on their faces always give me a lift
I am a romantic, sensual, and passionate too, to the love of my life, I'll share this with you
I can be sweet and shy or sassy and bold, I'm quite a handful, or so I've been told
I am not perfect, I do have my faults, like when I get scared I put up high walls
Or I'm not as forgiving, as I'd sometimes like to be, because when I hurt, I hurt deeply
My logic is all my own, at times misunderstood, because I don't always do things for my own good
I have many facets, like a diamond you see... I am only me.

  18. These words nailed my 77 years as a man. EVERY sentence was as if it was taking me on a journey back in time! It has made me desire to share it with my children first, then each person that has passed through my life with meaning.

  22. So touching… ” I am not perfect, I do have my flaws. Like when I’m scared I put on high walls” that describe me.
