Is it me that pushes away?
For all others choose not to stay
Maybe I’m an acquired taste
Is there a truth that I haven’t faced
Is it me holding on too tight?
Coming on too strong with the FIGHT
Perhaps my heart is worn on my sleeve
Or my nature, overbearing?!
Is it me just feeling some grey?
As times it’s me who runs away
Now I am standing in the SHADE
Later il let the LIGHT come stay
Is it me, the answer is YES!!
Thats a good thing as I’m fearless
Time to turn up that brighter SHADE
Open the future, come what may

- Comment from author about the poem: I am as fierce as my mother (obviously us in the photo) A strong lady who always gives me strength when I need it. Is it me? Yes! Always be proud of who you are, all of your quirks and imperfections, own them all and be happy to be you!

Your mother has brought you up to look after your self in a great way. May your life be filled with love and wonder.
Very good strong write.
Thank you so much Gold. My mother is my legend.
Hmm, no use staying in the background ALL the time, I suppose, or being TOO passive - as I can be! WE become 'Yes-men' or 'Yes-women', trying to please all the people all of the time.
We need a bit of 'oomph' or whatever we may call it. Sometimes I'm about a fierce as trying to fight my way out of a giant paper bag! lol.
Haha now that would be a funny picture to see.
Yes certainly some oomph is needed from
time to time, a bit of excitement can’t hurt anyone.
You found the lesson! Standing on one's own feet is sometimes scary and sometimes even lonely but pays off in the end!
Exactly Lorna. Thanks so much for stopping by.
You're fearless ☻. I get that we all walk at different speeds, eventually we catch our breaths .You're the Yes to your future.
Great write.

Wow a lovely self , kinda like a worded selfie mod poem, written in an interesting appealing confident way , appreciating mother, great ! Yes we should be happy with whatever we are and if that pushes people away then it's their loss. Kudos for the flow and rhyming.

MUM MAXINE ~ NO ! Surely you big Sister ~ she is BEAUTIFUL ! You chose your MUM well ~ such beautiful genes ~ you must be so proud of each other ~ A Perfect Pair ! Angela loves my DAD and says I'm just like Him which is a complement ! Enough about the photo ~ what about the Poem ~ IS IT ME ? Of course it is MAXINE ~ Who else can it be ?
VERSE 1 Not everyone likes me !
Like you I'm an acquired taste ~ maybe
We pose a threat to others 'cos we are STRONG
VERSE 2 We need to fight for our right
What we HAVE we HOLD (TIGHT) ! our Lover
Our Family ~ Our Reputation ~ Our Culture 'n Creed
It's a JUNGLE out there MAX ~ Survival of the Fittest !
VERSE 3 50 Shades of Grey ~ but why ?
There's a time to hold fast and a time to RUN
Quit the LIMELIGHT hide in the SHADE
We all have days like that MAX ~ bear with !
VERSE 4 Don't let the bu**ers get you down
YES it is YOU and in my eyes your're invincible
Switch your LIGHT on and Shine ! Shine ! Shine !
OPEN THE FUTURE ~ COME WHAT MAY !
Your greatest poem to date MAX

What an awesome response! You are right life is ‘survival of the fittest’ keep pushing through the dark and the grey and to the ‘future come what may’ indeed!!
Thank you mini me, x
Is it me that read this poem?
Drifting from reality without even knowing.
Is it me that read it over?
Not for proof but to draw closer.
Is it me now feeling abandoned?
Soley because this had to come to an end.
But is it me hopeful and anxious?
Yes, because I know I'll love the one that comes next.
😊
What an awesome response, I LOVE this, thank you so much and another will be on it’s way today ☺️
