I am ME

I am my only wealth and asset
I am my life – my only life
I may be different from you but
I am ME….

I am sorry,
I can’t be like you…
Please don’t hate me for that
If I don’t like what you like…
Or not think, say or do things the way you do
I may have different values, hopes and dreams
Insights and ideas, beliefs and traditions…
I may dance to a different tune
Because that is what I hear in my mind...
I may walk at a different pace
Because that is my comfort level...
I may be headed in a different direction
Because that is my destiny – meant for me...
I may be related to you
Be your husband or wife
Sister or brother
Friend or co-worker
But please don’t forget
I am ME
And not you
Do not compare me to you
Because,
I am ME and not you….

I am my only wealth and asset
I am my life – my only life
This is the only time...
I can play me – in my life
This is the only time...
I can take the lead role
This is the only time...
I can shine
This is the only time...
I can be a star
By simply being me
Because I am the expert of me
This is the only time
I can put my self on the pedestal
And not feel selfish about it…
because its me and my pedestal

Not yours or anyone elses...

but my own...


So… please let me be - the best me…
While you be the best you…
We can still be friends or family
If you realize and accept
I am ME
And you are YOU
We can both shine
In our own unique ways…..
Without letting each other down
Or putting each other down



Are you, YOU?
