The Best of Me
I have spent my whole life
trying to be anyone but me.
No matter how I tried and tried,
I could be none else, but me.
I was never good enough.
There was no perfect me...
and so I started out in life
with strong distaste for me.
It was most regrettable,
this curse of being me...
escape from my depressing plight
my ever haunting plea.
Alas, I found, without a doubt
where ere I went, I'd be
gazing from the looking glass...
none other's face but me.
There just was no denying,
and no place on earth to flee.
I was doomed, for all of time,
to be no one but me.
And then, one day, a thought occurred
since me I'm bound to be,
perhaps I should,with all my heart,
just be my finest me.
Today that is my only goal,
to be all I can be.
With grace and flourish, now, I strive
to be the best of me!
