I am who I am, that's all I can be

If I'm not myself, then who will fill my shoes?

I am original and can't be replaced,

Others may appear similar but I am a beautiful mistake that can't be erased.

If you come to really know me

You will find out I am an INFP

It's not a trait written in my genetic code

it's just a great way of summarizing who I really am.

I am like the freed prisoner in Plato's cave, I see beyond what's there;

I can look beyond the shadow of half truths and break the chains that keep me trapped

because I am a leader not a follower.

Though the words cut deep,

I will not allow myself to be held back against the lingering of voice of what society deems as sane,

Since normal is something I can't be, the world will just have to keep watching with disdain.

I love to learn and grow,

as if knowledge is a glass of water and I'm here to quench an endless thirst.

I am the prisoner who will walk out of the darkness and find the truth.

I am determined to find True Happiness.

because I refuse to let sadness rule my life. I am afraid of feeling alone so I will bring others on the quest with me.

I am inspiring a change I wish to see,

I am a Gandhi wannabe.

There are those who call me weird but being "abnormal" is what makes me free.

They judge me harshly as if I am being called to the stand to defend myself.

But only God can be the judge of me.

A lawyer can't defend my case because I'm the only one who can,

but I will play attorney for those who can't "afford" one.

I am the person who defends people without a voice.

They say God loved the sinners, well I love the outcasts.

The freaks.

The misfits.

Since we're treated like criminals on trial and our crime is being different.

I will change how they see,

I will be the eye doctor who helps those who are blind,

So they can see that these "misfits" have beautiful hearts and beautiful minds.

I am a prophet with a new message, preaching about a new religion called "Acceptance"

It preaches about how it's ok for people to be who they are.

We should acknowledge that "normal" is boring and being unique is a great thing.

I am starting a ritual of looking at the mirror and saying something you love about yourself everyday.

I repeat my favorite poet, telling everyone to "be the weed in a sidewalk crack, beautiful, because it doesn't know it's supposed to be there"

"I love myself" is now a sacred prayer.

People look at me and think I'm shy, quiet and meek but

I am an Aries which makes me impatient, stubborn, short tempered and feisty.

I've got gasoline for blood and heart beating sparks, starting fires that burn through my body,

like the fire crystal I believe gives me energy.

I am passionate.

I love everything and anything I set my mind to.

And there are so many things I want to go out and do.

I am a wallflower.

I am not comfortable around people I don't know.

So I don't draw attention to myself and just observe, normally lurking in the corners of rooms instead of the center.

I understand more than most because I'd rather watch and listen than speak.

I think I've learnt more about a person and the secrets they keep by keeping quiet whenever I see

something vital when it comes to their personality.

I am a person with a big ear but a small mouth.

I keep things bottled up and suppress the urge to want to talk.

And like soda in a bottle I fizz and explode when I get shaken enough times.

So I put a cap on how I really feel,

Afraid of how people would react so I keep my lips sealed.

I am a construction worker because I've built so many walls

I've been hurt too many times so I keep my heart guarded.

I believe actions speak louder than words.

I learned from experience that I'm a fool for overlooking what isn't good

so I believe what people do, speaks more volumes than promises ever could.

I am an athlete because I spend a lot of time in the gym I call my mind;

I mostly do boxing everyday.

I am a punching bag for myself because I beat and throw punches for the countless mistakes I've made.

And every blow makes me sway.

I'm close to being unchained and falling to the ground

but I take every hit, smile and say "It's okay."

I am looking for my purpose in life,

constantly asking "Why am I here?"

I'm on a search for good but I get overwhelmed by the bad.

I think and think and think.

My thoughts are digging holes way too deep,

that I can't even close my eyes and get some sleep.

So besides art, writing is my only relief,

I am a knight with a pen for a sword.

I skillfully use it to manipulate my inner demons

and create powerful messages,

that won't be ignored.

I am so many people in a body of one

but most importantly

I am ironic

because I am a storm of darkness struggling to be a ray of sun.

So in the words of my God,

"there is only one of me"

"I am who I am."

and that's all I can be.

Hey lovelies! So sorry for the long hiatus! I needed a break to take time for myself because I wasn't feeling very good and I'm still trying to get better but I'm doing great from where I was before (just in case you need an explanation for my absence). I hope you're all doing well and life is treating you good!

Questions for you:

1. What personality type are you? I'd love to know! It's so fascinating.( I recommend you search up 16 personalities because it's the most accurate) 

2. Hmm my favorite parts of this poem would be the paragraph about Aries and my ultimate favorite is the punchbag paragraph because it's something I need to improve on. Any parts you liked in particular? Or things I should improve on?

3. Who else is looking forward to the release of the Little Prince movie? because i sure am. It's one of my favorite childhood books (Stargirl, Heidi the swiss mountain girl and Alice in Wonderland are the others)  I CRIED BTW ITS SO SAD LIKE UGGHHHHHH

Watch this trailer with me and feel the feels like ugghhhhhh
