a life with and with out you

by sondra - Aries

i am nobody
but i am strong and don't need any body to make me feel worse
i am not you, and i will never know the feeling of the day that i am
because i am me
i am not your sister or your best friend anymore
but i have lived a life with and with out you
i am not perfect
but i can accept that
i am nobody else but me and i wouldn't try to change that
why would you?

i am not the greatest and probably never will be
but who cares i know i try
i am not gonna be the best
but i know people that think i am
i am not gonna ignore those who care
but i will love and respect them
i am going to ignore insults
but i will always remember compliments
i am nobody else but me and i wouldn't try to change that
why would you?

i am not gonna pretend that i am something i am not
but i will recognize who i am and love whoever that happens to be
i am not going to ignore the good things in life
but i will pay very much attention to them
i am not going to be the one to make fun of people
but i will tell the ones who are to stop
i am not going to ruin my future 
but i will try my hardest to have a good one
i am nobody else but me and i wouldn't try to change that
why would you?

i am not going to make a big deal of something that isn't even there
but i will make the best of everything
i am not going to be the best at everything
but i will try
i will not say yes to everything
but i will consider a lot
i am not going to pass up something good 
because i am smarter than that and am willing  to try new things
i am nobody else but me and i wouldn't try to change that
why would you?

i am not going to disrespect others differences
but i will recognize their rights
i am not going to understand everything
but i will learn more and more each day
i am not going to violate other's trust in me 
because i would loose a lot of respect
i am not going to take things for granted
but i will respect them and live each day to the fullest
i am nobody else but me and i wouldn't try to change that
why would you?

Reason for writing:

    the reason i wrote this poem is because i was loosing my best 
friend to a bad bad person and my best friend was starting to 
act the same way as this bad person and she was dragging my
down with her. so i wrote this poem kind of to my friend 
telling her who i was. it kind of goes out to ever body
