Watch Me Go!
You have no right to tell me who I am inside
Especially if you are looking at me through your own blind eyes
Don’t tell me that I’m too soft when I leave my heart open
If I wear it like a cameo pin
If I put it on my sleeve
It’s only because I believe
In something greater than myself
Love requires trust
If not in you – then in God above
It could be I’ll only ever reach just one
But perhaps one is more than enough
Maybe that one I’ll reach I will never know
But, by golly, watch me go!

Lively and delightful verse, Shannon. I love it. Well done and it is so good to see your first post on TCE. Welcome.
Thank you! I hadn’t intended to take this long to start posting.
No problem, Shannon. You are now here and already posting. Marvelous!
Maybe I’ll figure it out soon. LOL. It’s been years since I’ve used the WordPress platform. I thought the photo inserted when I uploaded it, for instance, yet it says in the notes that you added it to the post. I’m also learning the SEO setup; it seems different than I remember it.
It is a bit tricky to get that image in, but once you get used to it, it pops right in. When you choose the photo, make sure you click on use as featured, then insert in post.
Shannon, Here is a link to Posting Help and Tips that will help you remember all those little tasks: http://www.creativeexiles.com/help-new-members/
Well I’m watching you go girl and if this is what we can expect from you, I can’t wait to read more of your work. Welcome to TCE your first posting is brilliant and believing in something greater than ourselves is paramount to living and the air we breathe.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Welcome Shannon, and a lovely verse of self value and realization. People often judge but rarely see who we are, and that is their loss. Great work and hope you enjoy our community. Cheers!
Thank you! I appreciate that.
You go girl. I am also one to wear my heart on my sleeve and too bad if you dont like me for me. Great positive message in your verse. Nice work and welcome to TCE.
Thanks. Much appreciated. I don’t always put my heart on my sleeve, but when I do, it sometimes feels more like a curse. And then I remember, I’m just me and that’s all I can be. LOL
I love this poem Shannon, it expresses what I feel a lot of the time. Well done.
Thank you, John. I would hope more people feel that way, actually. I’ve always thought it helps with compassion and that seems to be lacking these days.
