Me

I don't pretend to be someone I'm not, because I'm good at being Me.
I look in the shaving mirror and feel really confident about myself
I am losing myself trying to compete with everyone else instead of just being Me,
I was created not brought up to be made into someone you will like
I solely do my best and enjoy being Me.
I'm in love with my dreams, married to success and having an affair with life

I don't mind if society looks at Me like I'm crazy. I'm just being Me.
If you don't like Me for whatever I do, for being Me, then that's too bad.
I have learned to accept that I am not perfect and I am happy being Me
I am somebody. I am me.I am a creature. I like being Me.
So I have to go on being Me.
I've learned so much from making mistakes; I think I'll make some more!

I don't want to change to be something that I'm not for other people to like Me.
Nothing that ever happens in life can take away the fact that I am Me.
I'm perfectly imperfect but I I'm pure perfection at being ME!
I am better at being Me, love me for being Me.
I just can't imagine being Me without you.
Nothing about me is original... I am the combined effort of everyone I've known...

If being Me offends you, maybe I'm not the problem.
And I really want the people to see Me as Me.
I am only Me, that is all that I can be… Me
Take Me as I am, or watch Me as I am leaving you
Look at Me, laugh at Me, talk to Me... BE WITH ME!
I have a disease called AWESOME. Kiss Me I'm contagious!

You - Can't - Be - Me.
Love, love, love ME!

ABOUT THE POET ~
Biography, I was as Seth Yuhi Musinga on the farm Karetes in the Fransfontein district of Namibia. World War 1 drove my parents from their farm in Kalkveld ( Otjoruu) and I was born in the farmyard, under the shadow of a pear tree. I attended school in St Michael's RC Primary School and St Joseph High School., I received teacher's training at Academy College in Windhoek then studied education management in North-West University, South Africa from 1995 to 2000 ( Correspondence). I worked as a teacher in St Michael (1983–1985), Rössing Uranium Mine (1987–2003) and Skorpion Zinc Mine (2003–2006)., Literary career, By the late nineteenth Century, I begun to write poems. My novels are a reflection of my outlook on life. I spent most of my life insulated from certain sections of society. Most novels are also based on the idyll of rural country that I am so fond of., The strength of my novels is the ability to gain penetrating insights into the character and nature of human relationships, from even a fairly limited range of environments and characters., Although I wrote successfully in all literary genres, I am first of all a poet. Among my 250 and odd volumes of poetry are My Life Story (1990), My Visit to Hell (1993) and War Veterans (1987), Lover (1980), My Love for you (1997) and Oh, So Sweet (1988), a letter to her (1983), Nelson Mandela (1939) and Kuku Vivi Kandongo (1996)., My verse is notably simple and musical, making use of traditional verse forms such as the rondeel, intertextual references and techniques such as the switching of idioms, epigrams and spellings.
