I was born into this world <br />As no-one of importance except to a few <br />I grew and grew <br />Through living life's experience's <br />And learning from the ones around me <br />Many may not like me or understand me <br />As I do not do things to please others but me <br />I am an individual as; <br />I love who I want <br />I respect who I want <br />I trust who I want <br />And I listen to who I want, <br />But mostly I listen to me. <br />Will I change the world? <br />Not that I believe <br />But if I'm lucky I may make a difference <br />To the people around me <br />Who Am I <br />Might you ask? <br />Just your friend <br />Is who I am<br /><br />Linda Franklin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-442/
