I am it-I am thee

by Libby M   Aug 22, 2004


Sitting alone in my dark hours,
Alone without anyone to call my own
Everyone that knows me has left my side
They said that they are busy, something
Brighter is going on in their life
Don’t get me wrong -I couldn’t be any happier,
But I need to note you what has been
Going on in my mind, heart and soul thus far:
I am trapped inside this old body of mine
There is no way out, no one to hear my plea.
No one to hear my cries-But-I am it I am thee
I am nothing but a wander in the streets
I am what I have been told to be
I am nothing but a simple girl, whose
Longing for simple pleasures
I am it-I am thee
The talk, the laughter, the smile
And all that two people can share
Have been the main essentials in my life,
But not even once have it all been purely given to me
I am it-I am thee
All I seek has not yet been found
All I need has not yet been given to me
All I want has not yet been reveled
Because I have not yet found my special thing
I am it-I am thee
I have not yet found someone I can cling to
With all the strength that I posses, nor with
Full trust and honesty...
I am a loner, a loner for life, I feel
Like I need you, I feel like I need someone
To nod as I speak, I feel the need for more noise in my life
For more laughter, more excitement,
More happy moments, and less sad times
I need to run free and about
I need to believe that the sky is not so very high
I need to be with you, I need you to simply show me
To show what life is, what a not fake smile feels like,
What a laugher does to a heart, what a happy moment
Is and what it consist-Silly me-
I have forgotten that I am it-I am thee
That All I need to first trust, to first listen, to first make happy
Is me-For I am it-I am thee
It is before allowing another soul into my life, to lift
The heavy weight off my shoulders, it is before allowing someone
To walk the walk for me, it is before allowing a person to show me
All that life is, I have to first find peace and happiness within me
Because it is with helping oneself that one would be able to allow
Another soul to help them even more....
I almost had forgotten that I am it-I am thee.

    please note.. i took your point in this poem to be a serious one.. but the voice is very human.. there is a light-hearted way about the speaker.. like a revelation is hitting her as she is speaking and she is amazed... in other words.. a glimpse of humor. :)
