Author's Notes: This was originally going to be the final poem in my poetry series. Here's the situation though. I've sent my Donnie poem to pacphys better known to me as Pac because I'm very skeptical about it. I didn't want to inaccurately portray Donnie so I wanted her opinion since she is such a huge Donnie fan. I feel as though I could have done better with each of the poems but I digress. And looking back at each poem, I still say Flawed Perfection is the best one. I can relate to that poem the most. At any rate, here's the third installment of my poetry series.

Disclaimer: I don't own the TMNT franchise.

I am the clown, the baby.

I am the one always willing to go that extra mile to make my brothers happy.

I am the one with a disarming smile and a cheery disposition.

I am the one who loves to interact with humans.

I am the only one who is never taken seriously.

I am the only one, who really deserves a chance to prove to the world, that I am more than a clown or a younger brother.

I have the audacity, to keep this smile on my face, knowing it takes a little bit out of me each time I do.

I have the power to take ninjistu seriously or not.

I have the will to live, no matter what the circumstances may be, because I have so much to live for.

I have the right to decide my own destiny; however, those rights are often neglected and pushed aside.

I have complete and total control over my heart and feelings.

I have the burning desire to live this life to the fullest with no regrets.

I want to be free and a part of their world.

I want to be accepted and not rejected because of who I am.

I want to be appreciated just a tad bit more.

I want the world to see that there is more than meets the eye when I'm concerned.

I want my brothers to see that there's nothing wrong with being a kid at heart.

And that's why I want everyone to know, that I'm doing the unthinkable, by daring to dream.
