I Am

I am but an entity in a vast universe, human in form, of female persuasion I breathe, I walk, I run and I talk of my skin I guess label: Caucasian I wear a few flaws upon my form though to some they aren’t seen as such My attitude much depends on yours though kindness may ignore verbal punch I try to treat my fellow human friends in a way that I’d like to be treated but I’ll not become someone’s doormat of this, a warning… not repeated Brown of hair with two matching eyes …though at my age grey hairs shine through Mother of two, grandmother of nine Great-grandmother of more than a few I am an accumulation of many things from birth to this point in my life I’ve welcomed growth within myself riddled with life’s conflict and strife Of the spirit within there’s much to blend with living challenges thrown in the mix yet still I’m a soul with infinite life that’s constantly in need of love’s fix I am a unique and complex gal labeled and numbered in my world but none of these can define who I am I’m still a bloom not completely unfurled And…In this life I answer to Debra © Debra Squyres

We all write poetry but man, we are all so different. You have a very healthy opinion of yourself. A very positive outlook. I like the way you brought your poem to end.
