Am I, am I not

accross_world_with_u

Who am I and who I’m not?

Tears ice cold, heart burning hot? 


Am I brave, born a hero? 

One in a million, or just a zero? 


Am I strong, can move a mountain? 

Lost at sea, like a ship without its captain? 


Am I humble, willing to please? 

Arrogant, haughty, brought to my knees? 

Am I whisper quiet, or shouting loud? 

Standing in the open, hiding in the crowd? 


Am I generous, or a greedy banker? 

Loose cannon, or a heavy anchor? 


Am I a friend, good and true? 

Shoulder to lean on when feeling blue? 


Am I a snare, or a deterrent? 

Noble leader, ruthless tyrant? 


Am I raging storm, dark and scary? 

Sour apple, or a poisoned berry? 


Am I roaring lion, purring kitty? 

Ugly duckling, perhaps I’m pretty?


Am I bright, sunny summer day? 

Rainy night in the middle of May? 


Am I caring mother, loving wife? 

Playful child full of life? 


Am I sweet as clover honey? 

Never satisfied, always chasing money? 


Am I a lover full of passion? 

Stuck up snob, dressed in latest fashion? 


Am I warm embrace in cold winter? 

Soothing oil for a painful splinter? 


Am I healing power, curing sick? 

Helping hand for the weak? 


Am I watchful eye in a high tower? 

Carrier of light in the darkest hour? 

Am I righteous, but still a sinner? 

Soar looser, or a proud winner? 


Am I faithful servant, ready to obey? 

Fearing God, trusting Him everyday? 


Am I loyal slave, defender of my master? 

Doubting fool facing a disaster?

 

Am I patient, voice of reason? 

Not in fear of death nor prison? 

In conclusion what’s your thought? 
Perhaps I am, perhaps I’m not?

    This...just...wow! Seriously, wow. This is beautiful...what poetry should be...and that no one commented on this shocks me! So, here I am, commenting! This poem deserves a comment...a flurry of comments really. Truly beautiful, long overdue, and its bittersweet to be the first!

      Aw you are so kind and I’m very happy you enjoyed it. Poetry has always been, for me, a narrow road seldom traveled but if one has the courage to venture on it they’ll discover many raw and beautiful views painted with vivid thoughts of countless hearts. Thank you so much for a wonderful commendation. 🫶
