About Me



I like boys who like boys
Ones that like my freckles and my voice
I like fruits and nuts just not in my bread
And I never leave anything unsaid

I like small talk and overly politeness
I tip on everything all the time, God’s my witness
I have a sunny disposition
And too easily make commitments

I say “hello” too much and “I love you” too often
And I love to come by just to “stop in”
Love to think I’m mesmerizing
Though I’m just ordinary I’m realizing

Most of all I forget I’m not in a movie
That “I think you’re pretty” is just something he said to me
Not a vulnerable confession of love
That ironically made him look tough

So when I go to sleep at night
I picture scenarios where I’m not me
Where I like to go out and my clothes fit just right
Where being alone is the most comforting

About this poem

This poem is an autobiographical “about me” poem that hits on all the parts of me that I consider to be worth sharing and are the most telling of who I am.
