I ain't Sugar !

I ain't sugar, don't think I am sweet

I ain't the sun, don't think I got too much heat

I ain't the moon, to keep your nights lit

I ain't the air, to let you breathe

I ain't fire, to burn your heart

I ain't water, to cool you down

I ain't a joker, to keep you away from the frown

I ain't a river, to let you flow



But I am me...



a bit of fire

a bit of water

a bit of earth

a bit of sky

a bit of mountain

a bit of air

a bit of sun

a bit of time

a bit of sadness

a bit of fun

a bit of sparkle

a bit of glare

a bit of heart

a bit of dirt

a bit of strength

a bit of weakness

a bit of distance

a bit of caress

a bit of space





a bit of nothing



a bit of everything



but

I ain't sugar, don't think I am sweet

I ain't the sun, don't think I got too much heat

  11. hmm.. nice one. One does not have to be sugar to be sweet.. since sugar causes diabetes anyways.

    I like the tone of this piece... it sounds as a disclaimer at first , then it takes a lil more mellow tone and you tend to start sympathizing with the writer and then it goes back to the disclaimer tone

    good job ! ;)

  12. I liked the bit of 'What You Are'

    And how a bit of all of the above makes us unique and different from others.. :)

    Making life and people around us nice, happy and optimistic.


    Good luck, keep adding more to your basket of 'A BIT'

  13. Wah wah!
    Very sweet poem!

    This reminds me of a very old song that goes something like this, "I am what I am, I am my own special creation....I am what I am..."

    Enjoying Mom and Dad's company!
