Anybody Else (Epic Poem Challenge)

by More Ways Than One

I used to be afraid of myself
I used to not trust who I am
Then I met you
Do you see your light in me?

I remember the day you came up to me
You kinda freaked me out
Talking about chicken and all
But that’s why I never want to have to miss you

I gave you a try
I didn’t know much at the time
You just seemed like the one I could spend time with
Now you’re the one I turn to

For now I’m okay with you
You made me okay with myself
This might not last forever
But right now I don’t want to be with anyone else

    I really liked this. My favorite line was “Talking about chicken and all.” Reminded me of “You Be Illin’” by Run DMC for some reason. That one part:
    One day I was chillin’
    In Kentucky Fried Chicken.
    Just mindin’ my business,
    Eatin’ food and finger lickin’.
    Good times.

    Not exactly what I expected, but I sense a plot’s presense here, so I call it an epic.
    Absolutely beautiful
