I Am....

by Angie   Jun 15, 2006


I Am....

sitting in the sunshine
warm breeze caressing my skin
feelings of anxiety
slowly fading away

enjoying the sounds
of everyday life
going on around me
as I sit and write

bulldozers and cranes
knocking down an old building
traffice moving along the road
people talking, children laughing

these sounds bring comfort
to this lost soul
showing my heart and mind
that all is normal

I have fears and tears
but I can overcome
because I am strong
I am loved, I am........

    Another great write.

    I love your title, because it implies you are going to then make a list in your poem, or explain what you are through answers, but also, it really emphasises the point of your poem, and that is exactly that... that you are.

    I love the contrasts in this one too, how you describe the noises you hear and how they are all different, children laughing, but also the bulldozers, such a different extreme of noise and yet you are grateful for them all, grateful for all that is around you.

    The opening stanza really gives that feeling of somewhere nice, a beautiful summer day and that feeling of being relaxed when you simply just live in the moment and look around for reason to appreciate what we have and that we are here, alive.

    You are right about one thing = you are strong and most definitely loved!

    Angela, I really enjoyed your poem. Yes, noise of any kind is welcome to some and to some silence is like a curse. Wonderful imagery. Thanks!

    I thought it was fair, but then again I only see my own perspective of poetry. And if this is how you write, I respect that.
