I Am

I am beautiful and talented,
I wonder when society will learn to accept me,
I hear the wind calling to me,
I see beauty in a baby's smile,
I want to be free to be me,
I am beautiful and talented.

I pretend to dance perfectly,
I feel love from a friend's touch,
I touch children's hearts with my strength
I worry I'll be alone in old age,
I cry when we are apart,
I am beautiful and talented.

I understand the world can be cruel,
I say thanks to God for my friends and family,
I dream of being in your arms,
I try to heal the world,
I hope this poem helps you to understand me better,
I am beautiful and talented.

You certainly are talented, and though I have not seen your face, you have revealed a beautiful soul.     Thanks for sharing this.  I read a lot of the other replies in Open.  You met the challenge well.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Wonderful poem...I can see the piece of your soul that you infused into the work.

Wonderful! You are as sweet and lovely as this poem and your gift of poetry. Know that such inner beauty will attract others with the same gift of pure spirit to you. Love, Ellie

I really don't know too much about you, but from your basic statement I would say you are quite a confident person, or very conceded. But to veiw your peom as a whole, I see evidence of the former, and of your assertions-you are beautiful in your caring, and loving- in your tender attachment to the young. You are talented in your self-expression and and practical in your outlook and concerns.  I find in your self-evaluation
a very appealing person, one that I wouldn't mind knowing more about.  Thank you for your introduction & sharing.

Callie,
Your talent is as obvious in your poetry as your beauty, which is shining throughout every word!
Thanks for sharing the attributes that are inside each of us if we are brave enough to admit they are there!

To a friend,
I know so well.
Your poem a pleasure,
At your house we dwell.

You are everything,
That you see,
Your the best friend,
From you to me.

I see the time
Has come for you
To open your eyes
And see the truth.

Your confidence
And self-esteem,
Were low for a time
This poem you needed.

Great Job DAWN!!!.     Loved it.  It's about time you see what you are.
