BACK TO POETRY REGISTRY
I am I
At times I stray from what I know to be right
And at times I feel the need to be held at night
But more and more I feel the need to be alone
With my thoughts and dreams that are totally my own
I've had togetherness,Oh,how many times I have tried
But it always ment heartache and God ,how I cried
And I have countless casual affairs,here and there
But they have left left me empty not going any where
Yes and like you I have had a dream crushed by an event
And lost all motivation without knowing where it went
I've been riding high and I have been down and out
With the desire to scream,not knowing what to shout
I have swore and cursed the day my mother gave me life
And I have both loved and hated being a wife
I have drunk so much my word was a mumble
But I picked myself up when I begain to stumble
I have traveled many a road to see where they lead
yes my life has taken many a turn since first planted the seed
But though it all or maybe because it all I can answer the why
I can stand alone,independent,self assured with pride
and say I am I
