Me

Hi, my name is Emil.
So let me introduce myself.
I am a poet living inside my own mind,
Since I was in grade five.

If you saw me writing then,
You would say: „That is cute.“
But if you saw my poems last May,
You would say: „Oh, that is rude!“

No, I don't swear, I pray,
That my sad thoughts go away,
But whatever I try, they stay,
I hope that I'm on a good way.

I want to clear my mind,
I want to try to be kind,
But I know that I also have to grind,
Work on myself –to become better self.

I just need a chance,
Without having to take a glance,
Every time I go outside,
Because no one is on my side.
