Ok, I saw this going on in Teenie, so I thought, why not start one at DP?

Ok, everyone say something about yourself…and toss in some poetry just to keep our ever-vigilant (But friendly!) mods happy.  

(Remember:  These aren’t the personal ads, you don’t have to write a physical description.)

I’ll Start!

I am many things,
I am simple,
Yet I am complex,
Beyond comprehension,
I am unique,
But I'm nothing special,
I am alive,
Yet I am dead inside,
I am structure,
Yet I am chaos,
I am a good friend,
But I'm a better enemy,
I am all of these things
But I am nothing at all,

Whoa, that probably didn’t help!   Alright, I’ll be straight forward.  
I’m 17 (Male), I live in Vancouver, Washington (Blah).  My interest include, poetry(Duh), fitness, war arts, reading, writing, delinquent activities, music.  I really dislike school and any other place you have to wade through the unending tide of bull just to get a measly education.  I have a dry and melancholy sense of humor, but I can get quite silly at times (In thanks to mass amounts of caffeine or sugar!).  

Ok, I’m gonna wait five minute, and I expect this thread to have at least 20 replies!

I am... there are a lot of things that I am,
yet a lot that I'm not. I am that thing that makes you think that there's somebody following you, watching you, taking you in. LOL!! J/K My name is Krissy, I'm 17, I live in Florida, (HATE IT!!) Enjoy poetry, (obviously) playing the clarinet and the piano, singing, drawing (occasionally) and I'm a mechanic. I LOVE snakes, hate authority, and am a very social person. (well, most of the time  ) lol. I have a great sense of humor, and I'm really quite easy to get along with. On a serious note, I am ALWAYS here if anybody needs to talk. Also, be careful what you offer, because if you say email me, I will... but be prepared for some hardcore stuff, cuz that's what my life is made of. BTW... to see how crazy I am, go to Passions in Prose, and read "Taunting Smoke" It's intense. ( I think so anyway) I'll shut up now. Thanks for this idea, deranger. I like it. I'll give somebody else a chance now!!!

What's the rush?
I wake up all groggy and feeling blind,
Looking for a switch , embracing the light
Making my way towards the restroom
But on the way tripping on that darn old’ broom
Cursing in silent I shuffle for my brush
Its only 6:15, what’s the rush?

That is a typical morning for me. I am 19/junior at Cal Poly Pomona University, California.

I am but a simple woman
Mother of two, wife to one.
I spend my days on an assembly line,
Making Transmissions to power cars, vans, and trucks.
My nights I spend on this computer
chatting with so many wonderful people.
Making new friends, keeping up with old friends.
My likes are simple just like me...
Poetry, Reading, Music, and Racing...
I love this place called Passionate Forums
I am so glad I stumbled upon it...

I'm pleased to meet all in this forum called Passion
I'm years past my teens but attempt up-to-date fashion.
Two years since my start, marrying paper to pen,
Found my feelings spill forth, can be gutsy and open.

~I am so difficult to explain.
I am on a hunt in this world. For peace, for my turn, for safety, for warmth, for lightheartedness, for strength, for knowledge, for understanding, for solutions, for so many things, for time, for reasons, for true happiness, for fearless days, for too many things to mention. I am also on a mission. One in which I learn to intelligently deal with people and things, where I'll learn to not hold the weight of every situation on my shoulders, where I'll let things happen and try not to prevent, where I'll smile just because, where I'll help others more so than I do now, where I'll take the time, where I'll leave pieces of me whereever I go, where I'll be remembered, where I'll matter, where I'll feel the most at ease, where I'll finally be released, ohh to finish this would be impossible. I am a very sort of in my head little person. No one around me has a sheer hint even of a CLUE what is up with me. I talk to myself. I am happy at times, a lot actually lately...I am misunderstood, I'm nuturing, I'm still trying to figure out who I am, I have lots to learn,...in life and even about myself. New things everyday, new ways I make myself smile, new ways I make myself shake my head in disbelief. I am sometimes shy, and sometimes soOo not shy. Odd. Yeah, I can be that too. I love to make things (little crafty thigns when I am bored) (or write about myself for all of you to read),...or I walk. I can be a bugger if I disagree with you. I have anger inside of me. I have joy. I am broken. But I smile. I am so confused. I love to snowboard,...love photography, sk8, hike, music,....(chill funky music), I have freckles that I used to hate but love them more each day, I'm 24 but wish I stayed at 23, I work full time and go to school part time. I love to travel, I'm pretty good tonight,...crazy day though, I can't stop this thing. I wish there were a word count limit sometimes, I wish you guys could hear me, sometimes I cry and sometimes I lay on my floor and close my eyes and just pretend I'm someplace else. Sometimes I wonder if  people watch us. Seriously. So many things to say,...I have two kittys and two fish. I wish I had a piano and a horse. I'm sorry when I shouldn't be sometimes. I'm someone worth getting to know. I'm going to stop now. Forgive me for rambling but I'm not even finished. This is one tough thing to do. Yet I thank you for the opportunity to talk hehehahaha about myself. To learn even in doing this. To find things out and to share. It's really cool reading everyone's replies. Getting to 'know' each of you a bit more is something I am interested in. Please,...forgive me for the length. *Peace.

gosh. who am i?
i never know how to answer that question.
i can state my age and where-abouts (17/israel) but i dont think that has too much significance.
it is impossible to define myself within a sentance or two. but i guess the poem (not a new one) that best describes my current state of mind would be:
     -closet girl-

little match-girl,
she whispered.
little small child-girl.
the touch of her bare feet on the smooth street
smiling her third of a smile.

I am me and no-one else
a lonely heart left on the shelf
three children I, all now grown
only one returns to home
Grandchild too, love of my life
always a mother, once a wife
working hard with people near
try to bring comfort, peace and cheer
sometime's maudlin, sometimes not
often cool, with love seldom got.

What a cool idea, let me try  

I am a little fish in this ocean of life
Constantly seeking for justice, inderstanding and love.
I'm ofthen confused, can't sort my feelings out.
I like to chatter, can totally spill my gut.
For me the most important is company around.
Many times I day-dream, feet high above ground.
When I'm blue I like driving around,
Cranking up volume, singing out loud.
I love all sorts of music except for house and trance.
I fell in love with Paris when I took a trip to France.
I have infectious laughter, I enjoy telling jokes.
I'm looking for someone to love me, hug me, hold me close...

And I'm 20/f, study Industrial engeneering and management!

I Am


I am challenge.
The prey, the game.
Chased, released.
Depressed, relieved.

I am sigh.
The cross, the nail.
Plied, untried.
Given, denied.

I am dream.
The wish, the fear.
Wonder, known.
Blinded, shown.

I am wind.
The far, the near.
Implored, ignored.
Followed, suborned.

I am earth.
The strength, the weak.
Pushed, pulled.
Confirmed, annulled.

I am sky.
The wind, the sails.
Mooring, pouring.
Flightless, soaring.

I am fire.
The cool, the burn.
Softness, hardness.
Loving, heartless.

I am loneliness
The crowd, the proud.
Soul’s perdition,
The contradiction.

I am paradox.




Yep, that's me!

Even though I am much better at reading about other people than I am at describing myself, I'll tell you all just how crazy I am     Hehe, ok.
I JUST turned 15 (yep, I'm a young'un :P) I am a grrl, I live in NC (boooooring :\). I love Music, Anime, Writing, Drawing, anything I can use to flex my creative muscles. As far as those physical muscles go, well....lets not go there, lol
I have been writing poetry for almost 2 years. I just sat down one night and wrote a poem, then I was hooked.
Well, enough about me, I'm boring you I know :P

I close my eyes, and I see things
that are soothing to me.
Sometimes I must do this, you see,
reality will be kept this way.
Do you know,
how it would feel,
if one had sat in the rain, alone, in the cold, dark,
afraid.
Afraid for all of their lives;
That is the pain I know
when I want to cry,
but can't find the tears

This is a cool idea. I will confess, I am old. (compared to many of you here) My grandmother thinks I'm young..  
I have a grown daughter, 2 and a half granddaughters, 3 cats, a second husband,(not going too well, as may have been noted), a true love elsewhere, and bla bla bla. I live in New Hampshire, going back to San Diego soon. I have been writing poetry since I was 15, and just this year starting showing it to anyone. I am bored, lonely, dark, light, happy, sad. Mostly lonely and sad.
Thats why I am at DP..Cause I feel some kindred spirits here.

My poem on the subject..

I am me and no one else.
Though my heart lives on a shelf
Its big and strong and could grow larger
if only someone would take it farther..

Well I could have done better with more notice

I am a woman who loves to much often
wants love often but seems to not be there
loves writing and my emotions become a tide like the waves rolling in. I am stubborn, compassionate very expressive to much so at times. I am 38 married have three beautiful daughters live in NC. I am very passionate about poetry could write all night. I absolutely love this forum. I love to write and love music it soothes my soul.
I have to say my strong side is also my weak side I tend to care sometimes to much and get swept away with my surroundings so if you see a tear or two along the way it's me, . Sometimes i'm happy, sad, insane, normal, very moody believe me. My favorite quote about myself is I'm a nice person really. And I think I am. That's about it. Finally

I think this is a wonderful idea you have here...thought I must apologize for my absence as of late...buisy, buisy, buisy!!
I have missed all of your words and plan to spend this day catching op!

To the subject...
About me...that is a tough one...I am owner of a webdesign company called Liquid Web designs, poetess, mother, *****, lover,friend, and above all eccentric...and I like it that way! DP is my sanity!
Poetry is my passion and mental medication!!
I write what others only think of in the darkest depths of thier minds...Shock, dark poetry is me...If I can make one think, then I have accomplished my goal!

The best way I know how to discribe myself is with a poem I wrote about 2 years ago and one written about 2 months ago...


SHE.......

She has hair of flames,
and a rage that plays no games.
She has eyes of stone grey
that with a stare can drive anothers bravery away.
She has skin as white as new fallen snow,
that in the darkness,it is said, seems to glow.
She has aboundant tenderness
that lurks beneath her dark abyss.
She has the sharpest of tounge
that has, many an ear, rung.
She has a coldness
that that men find bliss.
She is small in stature,
but far from small in evil nature.
She loves with passion,
but can hate with devistation.
She has a grand mind,
but can belittle any who are not of her kind.
She is...walking darkness,
but knowing her,truly, is adventurous.


Skinless

Layer by layer
Piece by piece
Vein by vein
Drip by drip
I peel away the parts
of me
to stand skinless
exposed
bleeding freely for you
before you
so that you may peer
into the true depths
of me.

Hello!!!My name is ERIN. I am an 18 year old female from Chicago. In my spare time (from the computer LOL) I like to hang around with my friends, spend time with my boyfriend, party, go to the lake, and do anything that is fun. My one passion is reading. I can read books on just about anything, but I prefer true crime books!! I am very friendly, and I talk a little bit to much. Ummm well that all I can think about for now.

pondering am i, do i use words of comedy,
to lighten the air we breathe?
do i choose sentences descriptive of me?
do i just not a say a thing, rambling
endlessly?
i will do this instead... lyrics i wish i had wrote that speak to me, as if born from my throat...

I am a child
Loved by all;
Scared and shy of life;
Bursting with new knowledge;
Longing to be a woman.

I am a teenager
Infatuated with myself;
Exploring life;
Experiencing new loves;
Longing to be a woman.

I am a woman
Caring for no one;
Dealing with harshness;
Turned bitter and frigid;
Longing to be a child.



Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.

SIMPLY ME

I may not have money nor do I have looks
And the wisdom I've gained did not come from books
The people I've hung with were scoundrels and crooks
I am what I am and it's just what you see
For that which I am is just simply me

I've soared in the heavens and sailed through the skies
I've dealt with the devil and saw through the lies
I've felt a great love through a soft pair of eyes
My experiences now I tell unto thee
For that which I am is just simply me

I've abused the innocent and felt a great shame
Looking back on it now it was me to blame
When they call for the guilty they'll scream out my name
This is now how I know it will be
For that which I am is just simply me

I gambled my heart and paid a high toll
Through the long road of life alone I must stroll
Surprisingly enough it strengthens my soul
At least that's how I expect it to be
For that which I am is just simply me

Not born with riches nor was I with fame
But now in the end it all seems the same
Life I have found is just a strange game
What will become of me now we'll just have to see
For that which I am is just simply me

I am woman,
I am confused,
I have been used,
My soul's been bruised.

Poetry and music my life,
They hold the talismen,
Of hope, of peace and love,
Mighty are those that brandhish them.

I am Mother,
To my darling Son,
For him there is nothing I won't do,
He in effect is my Sun.

I believe I've found my purpose,
My purpose in this life,
To offer comfort, understand, advice,
To those who are in strife.

I love animals and nature,
Spending time with them when I'm able,
I prefer nature to man made things,
I'd rather picnic than sit at a table!

Basically I just want to be the best I can be,
Know myself, so my spirit is truly free,
And I'll always help others along the way,
And that my friends is all I have to say!!!

Hmm... let me see... I much prefer to read other's poetry than write my own... but here is a little something.

I'm a female, twenty-nine
Trying to find where I shine.
Wander around, too many dreams
Can't find them, or so it seems.

Oh, BTW, I'm an Aussie  

Nice getting to know you all!!

I want to add a couple of things..
I'm an Aussie too!!  And I am an old broad - really I'm 33 LOL  I am married and have one son (the one pictured with me).  I have 2 cats, 2 birds, 3 fish, and want a Bicon Frieshe (?) dog.  I love music, poetry, craft (always making things)..  
There that has personalised it a little more!!

                           A Moment
                                
                     I hear the clock tick.
                      Waiting for sunrise.
                         Quiet, alone,
                      Early morning peace.
                    Sleep, a heartbeat past,
                     Drawing on heavy eyes.
                What shall another day bring?
                    All things are possible
                    To the point of choice.
                  Left, right, forward, back,
                   Up, down, sleep or awaken?
                     The moment of decision
                            Is now.
                            And now,
                            And now.
              The clock ticks,never stopping.
                       The glacier of time
                      On eternity’s slopes
                         Grinds forward
                     To the Sea of Forever.
                            Nothing
                         Is a decision.
            Each moment full of possibilities
                         can evaporate
                          Unfulfilled.
          Yesterday’s mists obscure tomorrow.
                       Only now is clear.
                       Only now can pass
                           Yet stay.
                 Burn, but never be consumed.
                        Now is the past,
                        And the future.
              The flower of yesterday’s seed.
                 The bud of tomorrow’s fruit.
                         Now always was
                         Always will be
                          Where I am.

This isn't exactly me but it is how I think.

hmmm....let's see...

I am
(sorry it's the same title as Christopher, but I wrote it a while ago and no other title fit)


what am I?
what am I not?
I am what I am
I cannot explain
all I went through
all I am
all the pain
I am not
happy
I am not me
who am I?
in the mirror
who do I see?
not me
or is it?
this sad girl
I've transformed into
lacking everything that matters
thinking of my life
with no happily ever afters


yep...that's me...I'm 15 years old and I live in florida (near Nikolette and Lil OnE)
umm...I like poetry (obviously), reading, writing, music, playing guitar, singing, and all that good stuff. Ummm....Nikol introduced me to passions (thanks buddy)...hmm...I'm depressed a lot....not a good thing...ummm...today I'm ok though...tomorrow who knows. Ok...that's about all I can write.

I

I am I
The way I want to
Not the way you want me to be

You may think you can control me
But you can’t
I’m really sorry

Sorry that you are you
And not me
So you can feel how it is to be me

You can’t feel great
‘Cause you’re not me
And I am great


Ok....that one was from a while ago...
But I'm almost 16, female, from holland, love writing, music (goth, metal, rock nd stuff), dreaming, darkness and hugging....(yeah, I know it sounds weird.....)

Nurturing and quite,
a little uncertain
of darkness and night.
And of what pulls
us along,
bumping our hearts
against something
far gone.

Who Am I?
A woman with out a face
sometimes feel out of place
but I will always be a friend
on this you can depend

Life has thrown me for a loop
I am tired of lies and all the poop
41 years since my birth
still trying to figure out my worth

Sometimes I am happy
can be very sappy
Sometimes I am sad
and can be very bad(hehehehe)

Life is what you make it to be
Deep down inside I am glad to be me



--------------
You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
and show the world all the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That your beautiful as you feel.~~~ Carol King

I am the shadow in the sun
The cold rain on your face
I move very slowly
And live in a dark place


Okay I am 29 and live in Kansas.  I am working in a prison as a CO at the moment. I have 2 great daughters and I love poetry.  Life has kept me busy at the moment and I havent been on much (sorry for that).
I hope to be back soon though

Hey, sorry to bump this back to the top, but I really wanted to add something to this - trust Alex to get so many replies to one post.
So, here my poem that might try to sum me up as best I know how.
I'll explain a few things after.

Me, Myself and I

Dark lights of worry,
Turn in my head,
Words tumble over,
They’ll never be said.
Eyes so unending,
Question the earth,
Never satisfied,
Not since my birth.
Bright rays of sunshine,
Break through the gloom,
Bringing relief,
From the ever nearing doom.
Where am I going?
What will I do?
Will I ever hear,
Those words coming from you?
I doubt that I will,
You’ve told me already,
We will never get together,
You’ll never be ready.
Dark landscape erupting,
Blocking out light,
The sunrise is dying,
Almost out of sight.
This is me,
And I’m sure you will find,
My biggest fear,
Is being left behind.

Well, I wrote that just now, when I first read Alex's post.
That's pretty much me summed up as best a poem can sum up a person.
I have thrown in there an unrequited love, I thought that right now, that is a very big part of me.


Beautiful is empty
Beautiful is free
Beautiful loves no one
Beautiful stripped me

I will add myself to this little post here. I am a 16 year old female residing in Colorado. Love this state! Anyways, writing, singing and volleyball are my passions. Well those and my boyfriend. I love him to pieces, we have had our fair share of pathetic fights and what knot, but we truly are made for eachother (at least that's what I believe, and he does too!) I love reading poetry other than my own, that's where most of my inspiration comes from! I don't usually post or read and reply in this forum, but I thought I woudl venture and see what this place is all about. Hope you all don't mind. And as for Deranger, he's a crack up!! I don't think I've ever met someone as similar as me when it comes to energy and saying insane things! Thank you all for listening to me babble!(now it's your turn!) Love Always ~*~Jessica~*~

Well......I did not purposely choose my name to remain evasive or mysterious ....yet it seems the outgoing person I once was, has retreated somewhat, well actually a LOT!  I used to be  outgoing, but have fought being a recluse for about a year now.  Even on the passion forum, I do not participate like I should, or could.  Sorry to all of the talented and well deserving poets here!  But depression has got me in it's grip  many of the days, to the point of incapacity.    I do enjoy all of the posts though,  more than you will ever know!!!!   I am a stay at home mom, 39 years old......VERY miserable right now in life, YUCK!!!!!  Still trying to find my way in life....hey I thought you quit doing that after you were out of your 20's?????...........NOT!!!!!     I have bad days where I am crashing down.....and yet there is someone inside screaming to get out that not many see or hear. I have alwayssssssssssss loved to write, but did not pick it back up until of late.......sooooooo.....all of this pain and hell has made me  glad to be here.  You are all a gift to me that I sincerely appreciate!  Thank you all so much! Oh,  the name came out of something I went through that showed me just how much we sometimes live in a world of Illusion (how much illusion I myself had been in).....I MYSELF AM FOR REAL......and trying to break free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Illusion

Pictures you think you see
Images to make you free
Straining to see what is real
Lost inside to others appeal


So you falter.......

Quest for  true  light
Brings on a new flight
One of seeking the truth
Finding it is so abtruse

So you.....

Cannot  focus on the real
Rather only on the surreal

Illusions of the heart
Making you see only in part
They keep you aloof
Escaping the truth

They bring you to the end
Feeling you have no friend
Make you search even more
To find out the true score

Seeking for  what is true
Only things that matter too you


They come down to this
So complete
But do not promise bliss!

To reality
For your sanity
To the core
Your heart,  you bore!
To the pain
Without there is no gain
To the very one
Who gets life from the son

Unbridled  beauty,  without a mask
Really it is no great task!
Naked and perfect as you are
God made you HIS shining star
Without your own merit you are
Perfectly HIS  without going far!

hmmm..Illusion and Chained too Illusion???
I'll ponder that later.

ALL I AM

Rainbow Brite,
with combat boots.
Barbie's sister that didnt fit into the family tree...
so I was sent to live with Aunt Bea.
Sugar and Spice and everything nice...
but with a little less sugar and a whole lotta spice.
Im the little girl in front of the toy store window at christmas...
wanting that blue eyed baby doll.
I am longing and passion
stored neatly in Pandora's box with a smiley face on the lid.
I am fierce
and strong...
but new and uncertain.
Im a bag of seasonings that keeps getting shaken up before ya put the chicken in!

Hi everyone! what a neat idea.  Im Denise.  Im from that wonderful planet called Ohio...
and Im one of those brave souls
*brave also = insane* who call themselves actors.  Im 26, but if you ask me on different days of the week that changes to about...12..and other times..60...so we'll see...

Well I paint, try to write poetry *winks*, draw, do yoga, meditation, swim, and spend as much time at the beach in winter and fall as possible.  

*bows deeply*

I say goodnigh' till it be morrow.

This Lady is not Lost
as confusing as that may sound,
she got lost for while;
in a big family in a small town.

She did everything in her power
for attention that she needed,
doing good deeds went unnoticed;
doing bad things until they pleaded...
for her to stop doing drugs and partying
they all wanted her life on track;
They wanted her smile and laughter,
they wanted the old Beth back.

It was too late for them, you see
for innocence was gone,
but along came a soul....
who sang her this song,

"You are lovely in my eyes
so perfect and kind!
Your smart and your funny...
I want you at my side
To guide me and teach me
Lifes little quirks
I will follow you everywhere!
teach me how it all works!
Your beauty is in me...
your heart is, too...
And most of all Mom,
I Love you!"

So this Lady, once Lost,
had found faith in God's Gifts
In the eyes of a newborn
never again will she drift.


P.s. I am 23 year old from Pennslyvania.  I am fortunate enough for that big family and that small town, my life is filled with nothing but love!

I am a little girl. (HAH!! IRL I'm 15) I like poetry (Duh!), anime (Sailor Moon rocks!!). I have a friend who posts here as Little Spyro. I live in San Diego, CA. My favorite color is purple, and I also like to draw. I am really not that good yet but I am working on it. I like to write poetry about the hard facts of the real world, like we all die sometime...etc...etc...

On a lighter note (literally  ) I play the piano and the violin and practice an average of a half hour per day on each.

The poem...
A little girl,
when you look at me,
is something that,
you will not see.

I am none ordinary,
little girl,
being seen right through,
when you look at me.

Don't look at the surface,
look beyond my face,
and you'll see the artist,
the poet, the person that is me.

Till next time,
--Little Girl

This is going to be cheesy I just know it  

A firefighter/paramedic by day
I see the suffering of humanity,
Put together people
Who now lost their dignity.
Their hearts hurting
Or their house afire,
Yet each time the alarm sounds
I still get inspired.

At night I hit the gym
I then feel the pain,
But when the bell sounds
I will be on my game.
There is a darker side
When I pick up my pen,
I jot down some prose
And submit it then.

So this is me
Jeremy Tyler Sellers,
Saying a good hello
To all you passionate dwellers.
And trust me on this
I usually write better,
But it's hard to mix
A rhyme scheme in the form of a letter!

Hi evryone,

This was a great idea!  

I really enjoyed reading everyone elses reply.
I'm a 41 yr old male Engineer who lives in Florida too.
I moved here after a divorce 2 yrs ago and have 3 children in NJ. (This is real hard!)
I have a ton of hobbies and enjoy many of the worlds treasures.

I just started writing and like it a whole bunch. Thanks for getting me going guy's!

Here is a quick stab at it.


The Last One

I am the one
The one that’s left
The man that nobody knows
A heart of gold sits in my chest
Unused, I hope it still glows
I’m nice they say
Too nice I see
The rest of the world
Can’t figure out me
Compassion and Kindness
Are two of my traits?
But it’s the outside
That measures my fate

Vince

Well let's see.I have 3 great kids. I'm 39, I live on the North Carolina coast. I'm a born again christain. I'm a secretary and a very sappy hopeless romantic. I love to write my poetry. I must have my music and I'll confess, the Back Street Boys are my favorite group. Ok so I think I'm going through my second adolescence, hehe. And I love to read.

A heart tender and kind
But yet a b*t*h at times
Romantic and dreamy
I love having fun
Praying that someday I'll meet the right one
A mother of three
And now an ex wife
Woohoo thank God for freedom
And a brand new life
I'm giggly and silly
And very out going
I love people and crowds
I'm never controlling
Ummmm maybe that's not exactly true
Cause I do like being the boss
And I say to those who don't love me
Well then darlin that's YOUR loss.

Had to reply to this one...I don't think I ever saw a reply list this long!!!!

I am a lady of sorts
With a body that hurts
And a husband who couldn't care less.

I write poetry
Sat here at my pc
And I guess my life's kind of a mess.

Yep, that sorta sums me up I'd say. I am 47, suffer from MS and don't get out much...but I like to think I can come up with a good read now and then. This is the first time I have visited this site...it's been fun!

“I AM”

I am humbly searching for my heart
and souls contentment.

I wonder if I will ever be able to make
some kind of difference in the world.

I hear my soul groping for loves
return to me.

I see Mother Nature delighting in her
ability to open the hearts of mankind.

I want to know I gave of myself hole
heartedly to all I could before I die.

I am humbly searching for my heart
and souls contentment.


I pretend to breathe a sigh of relief because
the world is in a state of complete peace.

I feel life is passing me by and I will
never really experience true love.

I touch a delicate rose and see the love God
has for all of mankind.

I worry that mankind will destroy the
earth before he learns humility.

I cry for all of the souls that didn’t experienced
true happiness before there passing.

I am humbly searching for my heart
and souls contentment.


I understand what it is to be lonely and
afraid.

I say all of mankind should walk in the steps
of his enemy.

I dream of a world that knows what true
contentment and joy means.

I try to help all of those that cross my path
with what ever means I have available.

I hope that all of the things mentioned in

this poem would come true.

I am humbly searching for my heart
and souls contentment.


By,  Cerenity

P.S. I at this moment are very brain dead and would not know how I am so I took this off of open when we did it there I hope that is OK,
