I Want To Be Myself Poem by angel marie

' I want to be an astronaut '
a little boy yelled out.
' I want to be a gambler! '
another dared to shout.
The teacher gave them an assignment
they had to write about what they wanted to be
and whoever's paper was the best
they would invite their idol for everyone to see.
The teacher finally picked one out
she said picking one out was the hardest test
and that they were all good
but this one is the best
Samantha Rose, a little girl, was the winner
and wanted to read her paper to everyone
I want to be myself
is how it had begun
' I want to be myself
because I dont want to be someone I'm not
and because it isnt that hard
and I like being myself alot '
' Some people want to be
astronauts, gamblers, doctors, and such
but when you be yourself
you dont have to do that much '
' Yes. you dont get paid money
but you get so much more
like finding out who your true friends are
and things you've never known before '
' That is who I want to be
forever in on out
being yourself is important
without any doubt. '
