Poem: We All Like To Think | Be Yourself
I'd like to think that I'm perfect.
Without flaws
Not bruised and unscarred
But I can't paint pretty pictures
Of all my spontaneous thoughts.
For they seem too scattered at times.
I cannot paint striking pictures for you,
These thoughts of mine cannot be translated.
But I will tell you this,
I am not what I seem.
I can't sing in a falsetto tone.
Beautiful
Haunting
Melancholic
And a little bit sweet.
It has an uncanny habit of falling out of tune,
you see.
Nor can I play for you,
For my fingers seem to fumble and shake.
Nor can I bake a perfect cake
Or bend my body in a different million ways.
I will never be her…..
Or them
Or even like you.
But that's alright,
I'm proud to be me
-Afreen Ashraf
