Susan Watson Poet Free verse

Everything I Am

I am my  own worst enemy
I am my only friend
I am the curse inside from begining to the end
I am the enemy of love and kindness
I am it's friend crushed with blackened hate
I am cursed with something I can not mend
I am fire, blood, and rage inside
I am kindness, love, and peace
I am the epitome of nothing
I am  tainted  life bloods  pulsing vein
I am  a blade of comfort  
I am cuts of acid rain
I am an angel  of  unveiling light
I am the prodigal child
I am giving up the fight
I am shadowed demon in the dark
I am damaged  
I am a black stained mark
I am here
I am the epitome of nothing
I am everything
I am me

                               Susan M. Watson

Ghairo Daniels April 4, 2026 at 10:17 PM ThkU for sharing your feelings about growing self-awareness, Susan. Know that anger and depression is not a negative state to be in and both eventually pass. Every emotion is human & valid. Keep writing to process your thoughts & state of being. Sending Easter blessings & much Light as you affirm that you are you., Ghairo Susan Watson April 6, 2026 at 2:27 AM Ghairo Thank you for your kind words. I know nothing about writing or poetry, after a recent suicide attempt this is the rage and anger that went from pen to paper. Crossing my fingers hoping to find my firm foundation.. Thank you again..
