This Is Me - An original poem

Hey babes! Here’s an original poem written by a GL reader just like you. Tell us what ya think in the comments.

This Is Me


I am a thinker and a dreamer


I wonder what people think—of me, of themselves


I hear the wise voices in my head, even though I never listen


I see my future unfolding like cards, splayed for all to see


I want to be a child forever—to stay innocent, naive



I am a thinker and a dreamer


I pretend to be okay, laughing to hide the tears


I feel pain in my heart, aching so terribly bad


I touch the sands of time, barely brushing them, trying to stop them


I worry about fitting in, and standing out


I cry for the pain of others—when I can’t do the same for myself



I am a thinker and a dreamer


I understand the effects of an action


I say that I’m original
I dream of a better tomorrow


I try to stay in control


I hope for a perfect life


I am a thinker and a dreamer
