I Am

Tony36

 I am not what happened to me

Those days are gone and past

 

I am the result of the struggle 

The burning fire within me

That has refined me

That has made me better

          Succinct statements such as this make some of the hardest hitting and powerful of poems .. succinctus superbus . simple as that .. neville

                                  I stumbled on this by accident. I'm resistant to the method here (and you are not the only one) of blanket commenting without content masses of threads in the hope, I suppose of attracting clicks on your posts in return.
                                  Having clarified that....
                                  I thought your piece was great in its simplicity but even greater in its message. Not directed at anyone, it pinpoints the continuing work we all should be doing on ourselves.
                                  Thanks for that.

                                    Common sense, trademark of optimism, nice work.

                                      Nice. Short is better. Strengthens message.
