Who I Am?


You look at me, and what do you see? Do you stand there and judge? Do you turn around and tease? Well I'm going to tell you that I'm just me! I live my life that deals with arcane matters. People may say I have an archaic personality, but I say I can be affable, amiable, benign, credible, diligent, empathetic, insipid, loquacious, lucid, magnanimous, philanthropic, placid, quiescent, sanguine, scintillating, and strident. But at least that is how I see it. Some people belie my life by the way I represent myself. People look at me differently because of my aesthetic and natural face. Just because I don't embellish myself with makeup, doesn't mean I too can't be beautiful. I attempt to alleviate the way I feel when people tease me because I know that I am STRONG! My attitude and personality complement each other in a way that makes me, who I am. I am a conspicuous person in a crowd of many similar faces. My family has brought me up with demure values. I've grown up to become a didactic person. I cajole the people I love to go in the right direction. I become a belligerent person when you hurt my family and friends. Sometimes I think I know it all, but I am a docile person when it comes to new things. When I extol myself, I try not to come off cocky. I become an exuberant person when I accomplish my goals in life. I look back at what I've done in the past, to get where I am today, and I've become a hackneyed person. I have had ubiquitous feelings about everything I've done. I have been quelled in the past by people and I've learned to overcome them. One day I will prove them all wrong and be an opulent and prolific person who is very successful. Some of you are probably thinking that this is an extraneous, inscrutable, superfluous poem; or whatever you want to call it, but I want to end here telling you all that I will burgeon, and just because I'm novel, doesn't mean I'm any less of a person.
