who am i?
i am small, blunt, and brown
i am loud, afraid and can stand my ground
who do i want to be?
everything, but me
i am scared of the Earth and its people
petrified by their actions and how they’ll feel
once they really know me and my faults, my
flaws, my fears, and insecurities
they are the thoughts in my heart that won’t go away
i want them to go away
if they don’t leave, will i be able to love again?
if i love again, how will they be able to abstain
and not fill up my brain causing me
once more the immense pain
of breaking my own heart before someone else can
i was once as strong as a lion,
yet now as fragile as a lamb
who am i?
i am so different, it’s hard to understand
where my hopes resided, is now a different land
one where i was once happy and satisfied
i am now alone and sad inside
who do i want to be?
who i once was before,
but my circumstances have changed
what i once was, i am not able to obtain
who am i?
i am bright, passionate, and strong
i can heal, overcome, and even sing a song
only i have the power to grow and
be better than i have ever been
doubting myself is my grandest sin
my faults, my flaws, my fears, and insecurities
are all the things that make me unique
who do i want to be?
myself, no one else because loving
yourself is the greatest wealth
you can achieve in this life many perceive as hell
but once you manifest love into your
being and understand your sorrows
you’ll look forward to every tomorrow
not having to ask again, “who am i?”
