ME

I found this poem from a time in my life....years ago.....

ME

I am the only "me" I've got.  I am unique.

There are two major parts of me;

There is the inside "me" and the outside "me."

The outside me is what you see.

The way i act, the image I portray, the way I look and the things I do.

The outside me is very important.

It is my messenger to the world and much of my outside me is what

communicates with you.

I value what I have done, the way I look, and what I share with you.

The inside me knows all my feelings, my secret ideas,

and my many hopes and dreams.

Sometimes I let you know a little bit about the inside me,

and sometimes it's a very private part of myself.

Even though there is an enormous number of people in this world,

no one is exactly like "me."

I take full responsibility for "me" and the more I learn about myself,

the more responsibility I am going to take.

You see, my "me" is my responsibility.

As I know myself more and more, i found out that I am an OK person.

I've done some good things in life because I am a good person.

I have accomplished some things in my life because I am a competent person.

I know some special people because I am worth knowing.

I celebrate the many things I have done for myself.

I've also made some mistakes.

I can learn from them.

I have also known some people who did not appreciate me.

I do not need to keep those people in my life.

I've wasted some precious time.

I can make new choices now.

As long as I can see, hear, feel, think, change, grow, and behave,

I have great possibility.

I'm going to take those risks and those possibilities,

and I am going to grow and love and be and celebrate.

I AM WORTH IT!
