Who am I?

I have troubles sometimes finding this
I like to think that I'm something good,
sometimes i think people take the piss
but they appreciate as they should

i HAVE trouBLES someTIMES findING this
i LIKE to THINK that I'M someTHING good
someTIMES i THINK peoPLE take THE piss
but THEY appREciATE as THEY should

PS: sorry about 'piss' i couldn't think of anything else

  1. Let me re-write the second version, putting the STRESSED where they would fall TROCHAICALLY:

    I have TROUbles SOMEtimes FINDing THIS
    I like TO think THAT i'm SOMEthing GOOD
    SOMEtimes I think PEOple TAKE the PISS
    BUT they APPreCIate AS they SHOULD


    Lines 1 and 3 = perfect! :)
    Line 2: TO and THAT sound strange when stressed. How about: "LIKE to THINK that I am SOMEthing GOOD"?
    Line 4: The problem is "appreciate", which we say "appREciATE", but where you have put it in the trochaic line means that it would be "APPreCIate". How about: "DON'T appREciATE me AS they SHOULD"?

    Getting there... :)
