(A playful Tulee-type poem inspired by the hundreds of names people call me...)

Mummy calls me 'Baby', Daddy calls me 'T'

Some know me as 'Sis', still to another I'm 'Tulee'

Some say I'm 'Outrageous', while others call me 'Shy'

They've even called me 'Cheeky' but I really can't understand why....?

alt

Apparently I'm 'Naughty' and I'm always 'Up To Mischief'

Whilst another calls me 'Innocent' because I don't give them any grief

Some church people called me 'Passionate', some of them called me 'Blessed'

Though others who have seen my bedroom in busy times might refer to me as 'A Mess'

Apparently Im 'Cute'and 'Child-Like' but still manage to be 'Wise'

Maybe that last one's because I wear glasses, for which I'm also called 'Four Eyes'

I've been labelled 'Honey' because someone thinks I'm sweet

I've been branded 'Party Animal' because I love a catchy beat ;-)

alt

In my lifetime I've been 'Annoying', sometimes 'Nosey' and even 'Geek'

I've been told I'm also 'Strange' and some of my actions make me 'A Neek!'

I've been known as 'Loner' when I'm having an introverted day

Then again I'm 'Miss Sociable' because a few people know my name....?

I walk down certain high roads and sometimes get "Hello Princess"

I'm not sure if that's because I am one or because the man likes the way I dress

One day they call me 'Sunshine', next day they say 'Depressed'

Certain crowds think I'm 'Boring' while to others I'm 'Sparking Interest'

alt

Someone reckons I'm 'Gorgeous', still others think I'm just 'Ok'

It's been said that I'm 'Just Right', but also that I should be 'Putting on Weight'

I'm 'Aunty', I'm 'Cuz', I'm 'Daughter' to some

I'm 'Friend', I'm 'Matey' (the only thing I'm not yet, is 'Mum')

I'm 'Talented', I'm 'Crazy'

I'm 'Busy', I'm 'Lazy'

I'm 'Over-Rated', I'm 'Under-Rated'

Not always 'Most Loved' but seldomly 'Hated'

Was once known as 'Dancer' but now known as 'Singer'

Was rumoured to be a 'Long Distance Runner' while the bus man knows me as 'Sprinter'

I'm 'The One That Likes To Joke', 'The One That Always Laughs'

I'm also 'Too Vague' yet not 'One To Do Things By Halves'

I'm a 'Reader', I'm a 'Writer'

I'm a 'Stay up All-Nighter'

I'm a 'Listener', I'm a 'Talker'

I'm your friendly 'Facebook Stalker' (lol! That's a JOKE! It just rhymed)...

alt

You see why they call me 'Silly'?

Apparently I'm like that all the time really

So with so many conflicting opinions of me

Who is the character I'm meant to be?

Am I defined by the picture you've painted of what you think you see

Will I ever become all that you've waited for expectantly?

I'd rather be who I'm made to be

Just let it all hang out and live life happily

And I'll refuse to spend my whole life living out a lie

Because with that I learn of myself each day I see I'm difficult to define

Will you bear with me in getting to know me no matter how long it takes?

Coz I'm still getting to know me for goodness sakes!!!!

Yours ever so sincerily
