A letter from the heart

I will never be who I want to be,

Now everyone wants a girl who thinks she is pretty,

I am one who tries to hold her head up strong,

But in this world I feel very wrong,

Why do people say I should be me?

When I will never be who I want to be,

When I was little people said,

Do something great before you are dead,

If I just look up to the sky,

I may shed a tear and cry,

What I have lost in the past wasn't too great,

But it helped me to see my fate,

I think in the end all that I do,

Reminds me of them and especially of you.

You taught me how to tell the time,

Even how to write poetry in rhyme,

Also how to be a better me,

Perhaps even who I want to be,

When you left life was never the same,

I am still stuck in this never-ending game,

I miss you all the days,

With your funny little ways,

But whenever I stop and remember you,

I know you love me too,

Life is for me to live,

Until I have no more to give.

Now I must say goodbye,

Reminding myself not to cry,

I found out I will never be who I want to be,

But you did try to tell me.
