I am an individual of few words. This poem is inspired when an online friend asked me, who are you? Friend... embrace me with an open mind, open your heart as with each words I give you a private glimpse into my world, understand and read between the line, indeed who am I. Enjoy!
WHO AM II look into the mirror
A reflection smiles back at me
I am YOU
I am ME
I am also who I want me to be…
Like YOU…
I look for answers to life’s mystery
Like ME…
You search for your place in life’s beautiful journey
I am weak and I am strong
I am invincible, vulnerable, RIGHT and many a time I am WRONG
Meek, powerless like the tiniest creature
Aggressive…. fearless when faced with danger
The devil sneaks a peek from time to time within me
I too struggle to be as good as I can be
Life is an exciting journey
An endless window of opportunity
YOU, ME, & the rest of the world
We are all bind to our destiny
I know not what tomorrow will be
I know not what the future holds for me
BUT I know….
If I set my mind free
If I open my heart and embrace what’s meant to be
Anything and everything is a possibility
I am a survivor
I WILL NOT DIE AN UN-LIVED LIFE
Of this I know for sure….
"I WILL NOT DIE AN UN-LIVED LIFE" couldn't have said it better myself.
ReplyDeleteI also believe it is only when you know who you are, that anyone else can really get to know you.
Chrissie… you my friend obviously have been to places, done stuffs and shall we say been around the blocks a fair bit yes *smile *
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you a secret a spring chicken I am not. Pass the sell-by-date perhaps but still a long way before the best-before expiry date, LOL.
I guess to put it simply… I am the sort where if you like me, you can’t have enough of me(of course that’s just my ego talking*smile*) But…but… if you don’t like me … you probably hate me to the core… LOL but that’s alright too because I've long left behind my Barbie doll dream days and Cinderella syndrome sickness.... AMEN!
Thanks for dropping by Dr. Christmas Jones!
I often ask myself WHO AM I? and I still can't seem to find the answer. I have been trying to be others expectation of me rather than find out the truth about myself. I've made the decsion to be honest with myself and about my current situatuion. The road to self-discovery and self-acceptance is a hard one but I look foward to the journey. Your poem was very inspiring. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteDon Diva hey there….
ReplyDeleteYour comments though brief they are but truly deep.I feel you.
Friend… I stumble and fall, fall flat on my face many a time too umhmm. Faults I have plenty, bad judgments I’ve made many too, so I made a few blunder but that’s the thing, it is my mistakes, it is my life, but you know what I think, I think the greatest mistake anyone can make in life is to be continuously fearing you will make one.
Look at it this way... mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full meaningful life *smile*
Mighty sweet of you for dropping by...thanks! Cheers and good luck!
A poem of determination. Commitment to live life fully.
