Alison A Smith Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

This is a phrase I would recite when I felt I was nothing. Written a long time ago introduced to you today 10th July, 2026

I Am A Special Person

Into the unknown

Alert but not fully prepared
March down the path of discovery

Anger must not be there

Seeking to find that something
Purposeful all the way
Each step a new horizon
Clear thinking to the end
Instructions there are none
A hand to catch you now
Looking for ever upward

Peace and serenity there
Earning the right to see through
Reasoning a little askew
Searching to know the answer
Opening the door to joy
Now is the time to be real.

Valsa George August 25, 2026 at 6:44 AM Yes, such self assertion is very important when we feel incompetent or when others ignore us. We are continually on the path of discovery. We seek to earn the right to see through, seeking to find something purposeful and genuine. Great resolutions. A beautiful acrostic born out of self introspection. Alison A Smith August 25, 2026 at 2:59 PM Thanks Valsa for your thoughts.

Millard Lowe August 23, 2026 at 8:24 PM It is such an inspiring pleasure to meet such a special person that particularly feels the same way as I do when it comes to apathy and its oppressive syndroning. One, Peace and Love. Alison A Smith August 23, 2026 at 9:40 PM Thank you Millard. Your words are appreciated.❤️

Clifford Villalon August 23, 2026 at 2:41 PM You have an adaptive, acrostic poem in a monologue. My pleasure of knowing you, Miss Alison! :) Thank you for your recent visit on my page. -- Cliff Alison A Smith August 23, 2026 at 3:05 PM Thank you for your return visit.❤️

David Crandall August 23, 2026 at 12:19 PM This is great self-talk! I've felt times when I have to tell myself something like "one foot after the other". Alison A Smith August 23, 2026 at 2:26 PM This poem was during a time when I felt I was nothing and had to keep telling myself I was something. The mantra "I Am A Special Person " sat on my mirror for quite some time. The acrostic was another way for me to express it. Yes one foot at a time. One grain of rice at a time. Nothing is easy we have to take small steps to walk away from what holds us back.❤️

Speaks Volumes August 22, 2026 at 5:48 PM Earning the right to see through. Now is the time to be real. A motto I will keep in my mind forever. It makes such sense ! I like this poem with heartfelt endearment. Its weird but Alison, I almost feel that we ARE friends. Please pardon my forwardness to say this. Alison A Smith August 22, 2026 at 8:46 PM We just may be or have been. ❤️

Andrea Dietrich August 22, 2026 at 12:06 AM Acrostic poetry is so cool. Well done. What age were you when you wrote this? A long phrase to say if it were like a mantra. I made up a mantra for myself and I keep messing up trying to remember it. 😂⭐✍️ Alison A Smith August 22, 2026 at 12:31 AM It went on my mirror .... pretty sure when I was at university. Not adding date lol🤔😂✍️⭐

Paige Hind July 11, 2026 at 7:59 PM this looks like this form was hard to write in, you delivered a lot of sincerity while following it- :) Alison A Smith July 11, 2026 at 10:00 PM Than you Paige

Kim Rodrigues July 11, 2026 at 7:12 PM And hope it did its work day by day. A starting point is to look yourself in the mirror and say you are fine just the way you are. How would we encourage someone else…should we not encourage ourselves the same. hugs Alison A Smith July 11, 2026 at 7:18 PM It worked for a time. Placed a copy on my mirror to read every day. Now I hope readers get the same relief. Hugs to you Kim
