I Am I

In a world where tweets, comments and status updates
define a person,
Where people perceive to decipher your being,
I am who I am and not what you claim,
I am a woman, who comes home to her thoughts and aspirations,
I am I...

Everyday is a constant battle,
Of words and war on love,
I am not my tweet,
My life is infinity,
I am hope,
I am happiness,
I am I...

In a world where people categorize you,
With constant pressure pushed by negligence of appreciation,

I am not your opinion,
I am my own cheerleader,
I am my own battle,
I am I

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.
