All of me


I do not have the wherewithal
To be all I can be
I only have the wherewithal
To be what you see

I'd like to hide my flaws
So perfect I could be
And hear the Oohs and AHs
Of only what you see.

But I don't care much
To hide my flaws from thee
separate myself and such
In the envy of what you see

For myself I cannot lie
not praise worthy
just another guy
A Truth of what see

I do not like some parts of me
To judge and you see
But in parts, I ask not be judged
I ask you see
ALL of ME

Hi Jiminy......I like that poem ,in fact its the way that I feel about myself sometime. It made sense to me...lol...guess its that thing some folk say about "Artistic Types".

Nice poem, but on a site like this, we are very limited in what we can express of ourselves or see in others.......especially when the only topic is US politics.

I like what you've written, 'and having writ, (the moving finger) moves on' then came to mind (not sure if relevant). Your sentiments make sense to me also.
