I don’t fit in with the average folk

So many people questioned why

I dance to my own drum beat

Just me myself and I

Too tall, skinny and light they said

It used to make me cry

But now I’m happy with us three

Just me myself and I

When I’m ignored or treated second class

I just small lie and sigh

Im good, complete and satisfied

With me myself and I

Thank you.

Great poem! It made me smile and you look so confident in your photo - love your outfit, especially the colour!

An outward show of determination and self-confidence makes anyone seem so to others. I like your characters 'us three' - lovely. Off to follow you now.

I think if we all felt the way the poem describes, we would all be better off. If we love ourselves, we will probably get along with most everyone. I really like you poem.
