Comment from Cindy Warren
That's good advice, for life as well as for writing. Why try to be somebody else? Your chances of success are zero. Great song. Billy Joel's music is timeless.

This is great advice. I take hits often about my writing because I refuse to turn my romance into lust. I don't want to write that garbage. Some people want it, but not me. Thank you for sharing.

Sally:
Great advice for all writers - actually, a mantra we all should live by - being true to ourselves. How much time has been lost in our lives by trying overly hard to live up to someone else's expectations. God loves me the way I am and that should be good enough for all of us.

This is a great poem to stress self esteem, and being yourself.
Nice words and nice rhyme. The last word, "authenticity" says it all..
Excellent work.
Good luck in the contest.

Sometimes people need to listen to the truth their friends are telling them about how they come across. As this poem say, be you, be yourself. Friends who are supportive give us courage to keep being ourself.

Comment from Ulla
Absolutely, Sally. I couldn't agree with you more. I've stuck my neck out so many times, daring to write in a language that is not my first one. Had a few slaps, of course, but have had so much help over the years. You've all taught me so much.
I'm listening to one of my favourite pieces of music and my favourite sax as I'm reading your wonderful poem. I'm so glad you've returned to your joy of writing. It shows. A big hug, Ulla xxx

Hello Sal.
I can identify very well with what you've written here. As it says on my profile page, I write what I think, feel, and believe.
I don't have to worry too much about people copy-catting me on FS. I've been canceled by enough people now that my readership is relatively small and I believe it's because I write what I want to write. I did have one poem copycatted last year. They even used the same title.
I don't know about others, but I'm still smiling.

Comment from Sherry Asbury
This simple poem and its message will delight me for a very long time. I often try to fit in - and Sally - never have...it's like God made a box for me and gave me the task to write. No fancy clothes or makeup - hair is turning gray - well I am 76 ... You make this site a great place to be!!

Thank you, dear Sherry. I'm very blessed by the wonderful review and generous stars. I'm blind, and don't leave my fan base much. My hair is completely white as you can see on my profile page. We match! Welcome to FanStory and I will fan you now.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal 😎🌸💕
Comment from BethShelby
I agree with you. What you get from me is what I am. I write the way I talk and if it isn't the way the writers classes says it should be, so be it. I'm not going to use words you have to look up in dictionary. I'm just plain me.
