A Self Portrait

Self Poetry

I wish I had a dress of silk, the color of the sky.
I wish I had a song to sing, sweet like a lullaby.
I wish I had a face so fair, one that the Goddess graced.
I wish I had a body beautiful, everything perfectly placed.
I wish I were anyone else, anyone but me!

I don’t have a dress of silk, but I can see the sky.
I don’t have a song to sing, but I can hear the lullaby.
I don’t have a face so fair, but I have the Goddess’ grace.
I don’t have a body beautiful, but I have all parts in place.
No, I don’t want to be anyone else; I have to be happily me.
