I Am

I am, 
Whatever I say; I am.

You may beg to differ, 
But I am, 
What I say; I am.
I am bold, bright and beautiful,
If I wasn't, 

Why would I say, I AM?

I am,
What I am, because I know where I've been.

Where I've come from, is who I no longer am.

Because who I was is who I use to be; which was q younger, immature and weaker me.

I am, stronger now; for GOD has changed me.

Into a person that's unashamed, blessed and privileged     happy to be.

Therefore, who you claim I am; is not me.

Matters not if you don't believe me,
Because I am;
Whoever I say, I am.

Stuck in A careless and cold world,
Full of thoughts, dreams and desires. 

My dreams are on demand, they shall transpire. 

Overcome, embrace and transcend all around the world and even the nation. Fir I know who I am, there's no need in deliberations.
My eyes are on the prize, I'm focused.

Giving GOD, my family and life my undivided attention.

Living daily without them, I am, nothing.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
