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
