I Am More

I am more than your definitions more than affixed labels placed on my anatomy more than your misconceptions or even valid perceptions I am more I am more than what's written of me More than what the eye can see more than what the heart can feel more than what you think is real I am more Yes, more... I am even more that the boundaries I set for myself more than the limitations I conceive more than what even I believe to be me I am more emanating from my core are little particles of truth dressed in the light of poetry a mystery revealed a little of the universe ~~outer and inner~~ set free your reality reshaped from a different world view and cultural dimension religious hues shining through all part of who I am now part of you but then again it's true I am more than these... I am a valid element of history soul written in rhyme truth confined to a time lines someone will read and be changed for an instant perhaps eternity thus, I am I was and I will be part of the continuum of life of eternity I am more infinitely more than what you see I am what's meant to be...

We are all more than the sum of the parts we play, it's such a shame that not enough of us realize that, wonderful write Eileen, you are what's meant to be...

Here, more is much more, less is too little...I deeply appreciate your inner strength, Eileen- and the courage " to say it like it is." You are a true encouragement to those of us needing a firm nudge in the right direction- and away from suspicious negativity, with it's lack of insight. Not everyone else is always " right" in their estimation of us as individuals- who knows what each of us has gone through in a desperate quest to find inner enlightenment? Compassion breeds compassion.xxx! :-)

What a thoughtful comment, dear. It's a long journey to self acceptance. I can't say that I'm fully there, but there are days when I am well enough to think that I can withstand anything. There are days when I feel crushed. I write...I always write. This happens to be a good time. Thanks for reading and seeing the heart of the matter. Blessings.
