I Am Me

Say It Plainly

By Julie LacksonenPublished 8 months ago • Updated 8 months ago • 1 min read

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.
