ME
Someone took my locks away
Then my golden smile
They put them in a big box
Then threw them for a mile
Sometime later I went for a walk
Stopping in the street
I heard them all talk
“There she is,” I hear them say
The ones who took my smile away
I walk on; I just don’t care
They can laugh, they can stare
Have they ever said “hello”
No, they haven’t; they don’t know
What a kind person I am inside
Perhaps they wouldn’t run and hide
They tried to shatter all my dreams
They tried to keep me down
But they did not break me
Nor drag me to the ground
Who are the ones left behind
Who wears that sorry frown
Not me!

“Me” is a simple word, but it holds a world of meaning. It’s the way we refer to ourselves, the center of our own story and experience. From the moment we become aware, “me” helps us understand who we are in relation to everything and everyone around us. It’s about identity, individuality, and personal perspective.
When someone says “me,” they’re not just pointing to themselves—they’re expressing their feelings, desires, and place in the world. It’s a word that connects us to our thoughts and emotions, shaping how we see ourselves and how others see us.
In the end, “me” is more than just a pronoun. It’s a reflection of our unique journey, the sum of everything that makes us who we are. Recognizing “me” means embracing individuality and the personal stories that define each of us
