Am I

Am I? Am I just standing here Or am I just dead Am I so full of fear I lost my self instead Am I nobody That you can't defend me Or am I just invisible That you really don't pretend Am I blind Or I just don't wish to see The love I can not find Is right in front of me Am I hearing the truth Or have I just been deceived Who do I trust Who can I believe Am I so mad I just can't understand Or am I so sad I need a shoulder or a hand Is it just me Or am I all alone i.t. S.k.a.t. poetry

Hi Skat, as always, you have something to say and you say ot poetically. You say it in your own style and that is what makes each of your writes special. If i were you i wouldn't change it much, if at all. You want the piece to have the Skat touch, realism, keep it raw. This is a seven. Love....Mike. XX

Lots of conflict in trying to find a purpose and come to grips with who we are. Self love can be attained but it takes practice :)

Hi SKAT, love this write! The part where you say" the love I cannot fint is right in front of me"; is the answer. We have to love ourselves before we can love another. Beautiful write... Lay
