I Am Me: My Version Of A Shakespeare Sonnet In 2016. Number I: I Am Me.

The longest title for the longest sonnet I will probably ever write in my life.

I Am Me: My Version Of A Shakespeare Sonnet In 2016. Number I: I Am Me.
Cj Williams

Shall we catch a movie of outrageous proportions?

Where characters blind us with their looks and pecs.

Explosions and sex is what we humans eat up.

So forget the art in movies and show me machine guns that are bigger than my hips.

Maybe we can skip the movie and move onto a house party?

Where people of multiple classes meet to go on a hallucinogenic journey.

Where we don't care who we meet but what we eat.

Where the drink can matter less, we want to be gone so we don't remember.

We want to wake up in the morning next to a stranger who we don't know but fell in love with.

Skip the party and head to a Mcdonalds.

The cheapest food for the cheapest bridals.

Shall I impress you or take the easy way out.

Maybe I'll consult my friends who've never left me alone without a doubt.

But my friends are disappearing, where have they gone?

Am I too blind to see that I'm all alone?

What is this curse that you've put on me?

When you leave then who will I be?

Will I be depressed and no longer have a life?

No. I refuse please bring me up to speed I have a long life that I need to see.

I will not linger and I will not pout, this is my life along with many others.

Let me see me in a moment of heat, under the sun where the grass touches my feet.

I am not Shakespeare, I am not Aristotle.

I am the simplest of all forms, I am me.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
