Me

FREE WRITING

Sometimes i’m Scared to be me.
With my books,
And my looks,
And the things I love to cook

then I look over at you
with your styles
And your smiles,
that cheer people up for miles

I wonder how you find the strength todo it.
how you find the strength to BE it?

I’ve tried to be like you.
it just made me feel blue.
It was then that I knew:

Sometimes i’m Scared to be me,
But its me I need to be

I really love the rhythm of the poem, it's so cute.

What else would you like to know? Where might the writer deepen an idea or question? Would additional details invite you further into the writing?

Putting a space between "to" and "do" will make the piece stronger because you fixed grammatical errors.

This poem is super cute and I think it's a really good message for younger kids, if you shared this with friends/family kids I think it'd be a cute lesson for them.
