I Am

I’m learning more about the me I’ve become to be

Because in my youth, truthfully the me I’ve become wasn’t the me I had in mind and I thought I pictured things perfectly

But uncertainty can change perception reflection can change direction

And a search to be perfect can expose every imperfection

Life lessons can bare scars like birth leaves its mark

Its like a road map I can gauge were I am at by looking at the point I had to start

Sometimes I walk in the dark and pray my thoughts are luminescent

And if I can love with one unbroken heart then I will know I received a blessing

Let it be etched in my soul and expose life’s truths

My rendition of the song of life may not sound the same as you

But are they not both real, I cannot stand still and sing songs

So I strive to live right so I won’t die dead wrong

Cause once you’re gone you’re gone so I fight and stay strong

I hold stress on by back like Atlas was doomed to uphold the heavens all his life long

As I go on its so much I saw and yet so much more to see

It’s so much I know but I know I don’t know everything, my concern is that I don’t get wrapped up in complacency

It’s a dangerous thing to become complacent you have to press on

Because stagnated thoughts give birth to new ideas that are stillborn

Won’t breathe or grow they just are and may lack form

Depth of perception so you will have intent without the will to perform

I seek shelter in storms but some times stand in the rain

I like to feel the sun on my face but at times I seek shade

I need answers and until then I have to cope

I write poems and read letters and recite quotes

On that note I resurrect my dead hope and as a man

I’m learning more about the me I’ve become to be provoking me to rejoice in the knowing that… I Am
