Yes, I am the one
That messes up
Frequently misunderstood
Usually unpopular
A believer and a sinner
A seeker forever exploring
A permanent work in progress
An unwritten story
A trouble maker…
With unexpected tactics
Free, disobedient, astonishing
Yes, I am the one
Asking for nothing
Giving everything
In love with life
A bit bizarre
The crazy one
Yes, I am the one
So what!

Me too Gabi. Exactly that :)
I LOVE this! I am also so often misunderstood and disobedient. Huzzah to all of us who walk our own walk!
Absolutely, dear Gabi! I'm not called the rule breaker for nothing! :-D
Perfect!
its all about being comfortable with who you are...smiles
Somehow you managed to portrait a part of me too Gabriela..i loved the feeling of daring in your lines..perfect ending! love it..:)
Nice work. I've RT'd your poem on Twitter @zerodemon
Good poem.
I like the person you portray in your poem.
...and perfection in the making....i love this Gabriela....a reflection of beautiful growth and bravery! :-)
Dig your philosophy. Great poem.
Slick write! It sounds like a bio to my own life story, with the exception there is no line stating that yes, that's my blood spotting the floor or that it wasn't my fault that the wall jumped out at me.
And you are the one I'd choose to hang out with over all those perfect little ladies. I like this a lot.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Keep seeking, keep exploring, keep writing poems like this!
and dont ever stop being it....well written
Thanks for sharing with One Shot
Cheers

And that is the question of the day, so what
Wonderful poem. Would have to agree you are the one. smiles
guilty by assosiation... and 'so what' is right! I am who am, love me or don't... :) The only way to be
Nice shot, Gabriela!
(But I can't believe YOU are ever UN-popular!)
"So what?" I love the guts in those two words...clearly shows you are conscious of who you are and comfortable with being you....nicely done.
Cheers!
You are the one, we're all the one. Wish we could realize that. Good writing!
Relatable, welcome and defiant. Pretty much summed up my working m.o., this (poetry-wise), LOL.
Your direct tone in this behooves the message, btw. :)
So what indeed! I think you and I see "eye to eye."
The best thing we could ever be,our true self.
Sometimes honesty can be misunderstood.But being true to one's self and to people is not an easy task.Brave are those who can be REAL!
Great words,Great one shot!
Love the 'so what!' 'So there!' might also work...
Dear Gabriela
Perfect dilemma and then the denial to be accepted... I like the struggle in your words...
