When Are We Truly Ourselves?

When am I truly myself?
well lets start with my book shelf.
I love to read,
especially when I am looking for a good lead.
I write all the time,
I really love to rhyme.
I write poems all day,
especially in May.
Flowers inspire me,
my middle name is Marie.
But that really doesn't matter,
sometimes my thoughts are quite a scatter.
I decided to write a rhyme,
even though it takes more time.
I think a poem better explains me,
and that I can guarantee.
I really dig yoga and meditation,
Helps me to sort out my frustration.
I paint and draw,
one of my favorite pastries is a bear claw.
I keep a journal next to my bed,
I really like the taste of cinnamon rasin bread.
Especially when topped with almond butter...
Sometimes I have a bit of a stutter,
I try to work through it,
relying on my wit.
Lets see, what else is me...
I have a dog who is quite the side kick,
my face, she likes to lick.
Always has my back,
except my poor flowers she likes to attack.
I love to create,
my favorite number is eight.
My birthday is in August,
celebration is a must.
My friend Sarah always makes the party exist,
I try to assist.
I don't have much of a sweet tooth,
I prefer sitting in a booth.
I am a bartender by night,
sometimes it can be quite a delight.
A great place to get material,
I always carry anti-bacterial.
Lip balm is always in my pocket,
I wish i could run as fast as a rocket.
I don't really think I belong in here,
I want to travel this sphere...
