A sonnet is 14 lines,10 syllables each line, rhyme is a, b, a, b, c, d, c, d, e, f, e, f, g, g. <br /> <br />Because you are yourself I can be me <br />I can express what I want what I feel <br />I can wear what I like feeling so free <br />Knowing your love for me is mighty real <br /> <br />I can speak my mind when you are around <br />I dont have to hide what I feel deep down <br />No matter how daft things might sometimes sound <br />If I laugh or cry or act like a clown <br /> <br />I know that when Im sad you are sad too <br />You trust me and I trust you in return <br />You take me for who I am but thats you <br />And I forever learn the things you learn <br /> <br />You give me with all that you have to give <br />But most of all you make me want to live<br /><br />Lisa Cresswell Wilkinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/by-being-you2-english-sonnet/
