i am here
because you have
created me
drawing from you
your truth
your life experiences

i dwell inside
your earthly being
springing forth
from your hearts core
i long for expression
use me as you need me

i am the vehicle
behind that
driving need of
yours to be heard
i am your life-line
your path to peace
and fulfillment

use me wisely
for you are my master
while i am like
a soothing salve
i will never leave you
spurring you onward

i am your poetry
your unique form
of contribution
to all mankind
i am your emotional
release and
your reprieve

i am capable
of greatness and
can change peoples lives
i will live forever
but please remember
i am only as good
as you make me

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

I like your poem very much Faith, but just would like to caution you about being a slave, used, or anything less than yourself. The greatest gift you can give somebody is yourself, but you can only do that if you ARE yourself, your real self. The greatest gift somebody can give you is to allow you to be yourself.

Always be yourself. That way people can see you for who you are. I truly enjoyed this read!!!

JerryPat-This poem was "my muse" speaking so to speak...i guess that didn't come across too clear...i don't know that i'm that good but i don't want to be a mediocre poet either

Doctor's Angel...I am always myself...thanks for your comments
