I am surely not an artist, For I can’t paint or draw, Nor am I a singer, I sound far from clean and raw. Geometry is not fun to me, For I dislike angles and sides, I will never be an accountant, Or a phenomenal surfer, The fear of high waves and tides. I will not be a chef, I can’t cook to perfection for a meal, I can’t jazz dance well, Failure, I feel. I am no cartoonist, I never and will never take drugs, Vile and grotesque suits them, I’ve never smoked or drank, Or put salt on slugs. I don’t like breakfast, I loathe being sick, I dislike unfriendly people, I am not fond of waking up early, I don’t like reading long novels, Nor comprehending difficult ones; I hate poetry that doesn’t rhyme, It puts pressure on me, tons. I am not greedy, I am not self/centered, Success if far from what I feel, This is negativity I’ve now entered. This is not me, This will never be me, I am myself and nothing more, I am different, as you see.

“Not Myself”
I am surely not an artist, For I can’t paint or draw, Nor am I a singer, I sound far from clean and raw. Geometry is not fun to me, For I dislike angles and sides, I will never be an accountant, Or a phenomenal surfer, The fear of high waves and tides. I will not be a chef, I can’t cook to perfection for a meal, I can’t jazz dance well, Failure, I feel. I am no cartoonist, I never and will never take drugs, Vile and grotesque suits them, I’ve never smoked or drank, Or put salt on slugs. I don’t like breakfast, I loathe being sick, I dislike unfriendly people, I am not fond of waking up early, I don’t like reading long novels, Nor comprehending difficult ones; I hate poetry that doesn’t rhyme, It puts pressure on me, tons. I am not greedy, I am not self/centered, Success if far from what I feel, This is negativity I’ve now entered. This is not me, This will never be me, I am myself and nothing more, I am different, as you see.
