The Me In Life

Here is a poem I wrote when I was bored one day...

THE ME IN LIFE

Say it loud
Say it proud
The thing that drives your very soul
Without it your inner self is never whole
Its hard to find , but is always there
You have to do more than a simple blank stare
It’s the me if life that matters most
Its always important to be your own host
To serve yourself, and do what you need
Answer your voice and the given plead
For it’s a lesson in life that must be learned
For all those who don’t understand and are concerned
To help others in the world who we love
Our self must come first so we can rise above
Without a little selfishness here and there
Our assistance in the world won’t have a prayer
Without loving ourselves first, what can we do
It would be useless and you know it too
I don’t mean to be rough
But enough is enough
Yes do for others all that you can
Be a proud person, be a good man
But realize through and through
That in order to be helpful you must be you
Its the voice inside
Let it roll, let it ride

Hope you liked it! =) I was in a kind of defensive, weird, emotional mood that day. You know? I love writing poems when I'm like that. Let me know what you think!!! Thank you.

Good writing. I half way agree with you.

You're pretty brave for posting your poetry. Cool.

If we don't know who we are, then how can we help someone else? I think that's why sometimes we have to be selfish before we are selfless. I agree if you don't think too deeply into it.

Nice job.
