Portraying Poetry - Original Poems by. Julie

Just One

I could choose to be the smart one

the nice one...

or the popular one...

but it all depends on how life plays out

and the person I choose to be

So if I could ask for just one thing,

it would be a single picture of you and me

to tell me who to be

and to remind me of who I really am

Whoever I am

and whoever I may become

I'll always have that picture of you and me to give me confidence with whoever I choose to be.

One picture can represent more than a thousand words,

and you don't have to smile or do something funny

just stand there with me and show me you care

because to me

that one picture of you and me

will last for eternity...
