I am me.
I am exactly as I appear to have been drawn.
If you don't like, it, please go ahead and move on.
I don't wish to be anyone's pawn.
*
I am me.
As simple as can be.
I don't believe in sugar-coating to any degree.
Rather, I state things exactly as what I see.
*
I am me.
Uncomplicated at best.
Not prone to outrage or getting distressed.
If something's nagging, I will get it off my chest.
*
I am me.
No one else is the same.
I'm not one for whom life is a game.
Yet I think life without humor is a crying shame.
*
I am me.
As guileless as can be.
To me, living unpretentiously is key.
I'm an open book. You can read me for free.

me, me, me
when i read back my poetry it screams “me, me, me” on my screen in bold letters and i can’t shut it up — most days, i cannot make any other words out; i want to throttle a thousand versions of the me gone by, i want to throw myself from a figurative balcony, i want to sink a sword into every pen i’ve held

Fabulous. The ending is perfect. Loved it. The picture is gorgeous and I am also like your poem, say it like it is.
Fantastic pic & poem, Julie!
I enjoy a rhyming poem. It's not something that comes easy for me, so I appreciate it when I read one that's well done. Nice job!
Will certainly be happy to read you, and appreciate you as you are! Lovely start to my morning!
