I like who I am
where I am
how I am
Comfortable
in my own skin
I used to take
for granted
Understanding
that is not
the norm for
so many
Not a brag
or boast – just
recognition
that I get it
Like Sammy
sang
‘I gotta be me’

Great thought, to be comfortable in one’s skin! And so true. Not everyone is.
Thank you. That was my first thought when I saw this prompt. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Powerful!
Thank you!
Very simple, yet very powerful. Something that we all can resonate with. We’ve all felt it at some point in life. I truly loved it. Thank you.
Thank you, Vijaya. Much appreciated.
Simple and engaging poem well crafted
I love the self acceptance in, ” Here and Now.”This is an important topic and you cover it well in poem. I love the phrase “comfortable in my own skin.” nd, I appreciate your acknowledgement that self acceptance and being comfortable where you are right now, is not the “norm” for everyone at this moment. Well done. This is def my second choice for you in terms of submission…I can;’t remember the first that i reviewed..Maybe it was the cheese one…submit both as they are good contrasts.
Thank you, Ingrid. Much appreciated.
I have to be sincere here, I am part of the crowd who is still trying to get it. Thank you for sharing this, I hope to get there someday. Great writing.
I thank you very much.
This is wonderful! I wish everyone could feel this way.
