I whistle a hollow tune. <br />Bitter to the taste, but sweet in sound. <br />The clouds pass over, leaving a sad grey sky behind. <br />The stars come out with their normal glow. <br />But on the inside I still feel sorrow. <br />For what reason, I am not quite certain. <br />But it is in the darkness that I see: <br />All the beautiful creatures, <br />Beautiful voices, <br />And beautiful people that I will never be. <br />But that is okay. <br />I may not be perfect. <br />I am rough on the edges. <br />But I am me! <br />And that is all I'll ever need to be.<br /><br />Leah Michelle Ellis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-simple-reminder-3/
