I am one of many A majority I am world wide Determined and mighty I need little to survive I am viewed with disdain If you think you have the best of me I will definitely return again I am…..?

Hmm … you’ve got us all thinking dear Deb. This is a great poem to ponder over- like a cliffhanger! I’m thinking some sort of life form and perhaps from the insect kingdom ? You’ll have to write a sequel :) to enlighten us dear, poetic friend. Enjoyed this read. Have a great weekend. Hugs and smiles x :):)

A most relatable poem, Deb, as the affirmation of self is a goal shared by many. Your last line is truly thought provoking + leaves the reader option to fill the space. Perhaps "I am every being." Thank you for this posting. Be well. Brian

A lovely response Brian! But no…. Debx

a poem filled with affirmations despite being disdained. Sometimes I guess any of us can feel isolated and disdained. This seems like the reference is not to a person, but a thing or situation. Hmm...much to think about here. Enjoy your evening, Sara

I'll place my bet on a "virus"; there are many of those around and people regard them with disdain. (covid comes to mind). ~ Regards // paul

Intriguing question you present us with, my dear Deb. I'll venture a guess ... a smile, happiness, or a positive attitude. Thanks for the poem that make us think. Hugs, Bill

Deb M

An interesting write Deb, At first, I thought it was about the belief of the original theosophists, but it immediately took a malevolent turn. With matter there will always be antimatter... hmm...

I am... so curious Deb! This sounds terrible but the first thing I thought of was a cockroach, lol!! I'm sure that was not on your pretty little mind when writing this! It definitely bears more contemplation! Happy Friday xxoo
