I'm
a soul
Lost and found.
A bright young thing
Or so I am told
I can lose myself in
Letters, numbers or lyrics.
A poetess and a painter
I hold hopes and dreams and desires
And a thirst for knowledge, unquenchable
I'm someone who will never have enough
Of knowledge gained through experience,
I strive always for betterment.
I live my given time and
Yes i too have struggled
Stumbling through life
Pulling myself
up again
when i
fall.
I'm
no saint
I have my
flaws like every
Other human girl.
I've sinned of course like you
I'm imperfect, beautiful
Full of human nature in which
I like to see goodness and in this
Flawed imperfect but kind nature believe.

This is a wonderful tribute to one's self. I liked it because it pointed out the good and the bad of a young, beautiful, imperfect human bean. Well said.
