Well this one got a little weird I guess. Not exactly what I meant to do but it was fun
Self
Self-portraits seem silly to me
I am no one special
No hidden talents
No deep thoughts
I exist to be simple
And while there’s nothing wrong
It also makes things hard
When people ask
Or want to know more
How do you explain this is it
That there aren’t depths to dive into
That you are a shallow pool
But yet people want to ask
And seem to find something
So maybe it’s all perception
Nice one! Maybe it’s all perception… The closing line clinches it. Well done!
Thank you! I always struggle with talking about myself.
I exist to be simple – you state so elegantly and yet there are a lot layers here, a lot of complexities and personality that intrigues.
Thank you! These sorts of prompts are always tough but I want to try the writing about yourself ones to practice some of that good self talk.
