Who I Am Not
I am a nobody. I don't know what I like most. I don't know what's my real talent is. I can't say I'm good at
playing guitar, still, I have a lot more to learn, and trust me, there are still a lot out there better than I
am. I can't say I sing good , for I can't reach a higher note than Fa without using head tone to
compromise. I may not as well say I'm good at doing art, for I cannot draw like fine arts students do, yet I
do have hands to do what I like with a piece of paper, cloth, crayon or any resources I have. I like playing
scrabble, I've been the champion at it , from grade 6 until grade 12 in my last school, that was seven
years long that I have the title, yet, that school is a private one which is a lot smaller from where I go
now. I also love to write, stories, poems, essays anything will do, yet, it is not what I always wanted to
do. I have confidence in speaking in front of a class or even a crowd, but you'll never know what kind of
dilemma had rushed into my mind the minute before I step onto the spotlight. A friend of mine said I'm
good at dancing, she said I have the skill, I answered, " Oh please, don't give me hope, I'd rather run
around the oval thrice continuously as I am told than to dance for a minute or two". I don't know if I am
ever good at acting, I can act innocent, fierce, kind, dramatic, bitchy, and at times I can handle the
character which gives you goosebumps, well, atleast that's what my teacher told me. My grammar is
good says one of my friends and teachers too, but how on earth does Microsoft Word Office has issues
with my words? I love English very much, I dislike Mathematics that's for a fact, but hey, I never had
grades in it lower than a 95. Also, I am careful in pronouncing words, I like learning intonations very
much, but the fact is, I may not always be aware of pronouncing words correctly myself. From the things
I've said above, I don't really know who I am and what I want. Maybe I am defined by the environment
I'm in, or the people I hang out with, or the experiences I had kept. I don't know, but I learnt of some
words I like to share, "I am a jack of all trades, yet a master of none".
In the lower part are two poems which suits me well, and my view of the outside world, I think? But I
wrote them when I was in Grade 10, I can't tell the difference for I am in college now.
I can be wise, yet I still fall for your lies
I can laugh, but I guess that's just wasn't enough
I can be nice, yet you see this as a disguise
I can be smart, but you play with my mind like a dart
I can be weird, yet you seem to see me as a girl with beard
I can look pretty, but you'll say I'm just dreamy
I can be lonely, yet you think I will never be
I can be who I am, yet you'll judge me as if I can't
I can be loud, I can be wild
I can be cheap,I can be a creep
I can be frail , forlorn, and just fed up
I can , yet I still manage to stay in place;
for those who don't get the will of my pace
