Just Someone Like Me Poem by D Loveday Morris

JUST SOMEONE LIKE ME

Just someone like me
One who has been to many places
Experienced happiness in people's faces
Find solace in empty spaces
There is solace in empty places

Just someone like me
Been there done that
It's easier to give when you have got
Much easier when you've got lots
Yet those who give most seem to be the have nots

Just someone like me
An empty heart is as good as dead
Much worse is an empty head
Much worse is an uncomfortable bed
Much worse than not having a bed

Just someone like me
Dare to dream and see
See light, hope and beauty in everybody
Dare to dream and see, see colour less in everybody
See colour, yes, in everybody

Just someone like me
Someone like me, is not me
Like two boats on the same sea
Of that, I too am guilty
Of thinking that someone is me

See life as a one-shot opportunity
An ebb, a flow, a mystery
Be what, and with whomever you choose to be
Live life with accountability
Enjoy every moment; paint your own story

Be someone; be someone just like me
