Please forgive the lack of distinction in the opening......but then, when one is not very distinctive....lol I am who I am and I long to be set free I wonder when I look , do I ever really see. I hear the cacaphony of words on the wires. I see the transition as lifetimes expire. I want to make a difference , not just to be. I am who I am and I long to be set free. I pretend that I can soar high up above the clouds. I feel no one will hear so I scream so very loud. I touch the very heavens , so far away from me. I worry am I tied down ,like a weeping willow tree I cry for all the earthbound ,trying just to be. I am who I am and I long to be set free. I understand that evolution is leaving me behnd. I say who cares for that , I'm slowly going blind I dream of seeing clearly, all that I missed before. I try to listen better, run it by me just once more. I hope to be forgiven for simply being me. I am who I am and I long to be set free. Jack Sorry folks I think i missed the point here,but it is late and I think i'll let it stand. |

Jack..  I think you got the point perfectly. It's not about what others want you to write in the poem, but about you. And that's all. Challenge very well met! I really like this. I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell. |

Hey Jack I havn't seen you around lately,I missed your input. Now if I may say so this is one of your best that I've read recently. You hit the target smack bang centre here,I like the repeated refrain. I am who I am and I long to be set free. That to me is very nice indeed. Regards Jon |

I agree with Jon. Good one. I don't think you should seek forgiveness for who you are or what you are. You should rejoice in it. |

Jack--You are who you are....and I wouldn't have it any other way!! Another beautiful poem here; thank you for taking (and meeting, I might add) the challenge. "Unto thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night, the day; thou cans't not be false to any man."---Shakespeare |
