I may not be

Another middle of the night "inspiration", not sure why, not sure what it means, but damn sure it is me...

I may not be…


 


As funny                                                                        


As serious


As outspoken


As good


As bad


As handsome


As sad…


 


I may not be…


 


As perfect


As observant


As happy


As buoyant


As obnoxious


As sarcastic


As prolific


As sappy…


 


I may not be…


 


A republican


A democrat


A defender


A worrier


A great thinker


A seer


A sinker…


 


I may not be…


 


As responsible


As performance oriented


As loyal


As full of toil


As full of shit


As powerful


As powerless


As royal…


 


                I may not be all of the above,


                But what I am is me,


                All there can be,


                ALL ANYONE CAN SEE!

But what I am is me,

I guess that's all any of us can be, as long as we are the best 'me' that we can be, surely, that's plenty - you see?

Ed,
All that you are should be the best that you can be. Never be anything other than yourself and that's all anyone can ever expect of you. Am I making sense. (lol) Got caught up in the moment.
