Me

***ME (two) (popular poetry)

Me (I wanted to write this one as simple and popular poetry, however, suggestions are welcome)

People wonder from where I get so much strength
Though I am not born in a wonderful land
But when they start to search
They find
My
Power lies
In the renunciation of fear and greed
And the most wonderful thing
Is my heart and soul
Whatever the landscape is
It is my life
And I am the king

I often wonder from where I get so much joy
Though I do not play with golden toy
When I start to look out
I find
The source
Of My happiness lies in the flowers
Grown in my field
The purest gold of all are my thoughts
Whatever the plot is
It is me
And I am the king

All men and women find me dashing
Though I never go for the acts of blitz
But when they start to search
They find
I am not a slave
Of lust and lecherous deed
The most daring part is that I am bold
I break but I never bow down
My heart is full of love for all
I am totally free from any inhibition
It is me, my life
And I am the king.

"I break but I never bow down" - I love that you allow yourself imperfection! I hope I'm not breaking an unwritten rule by commenting because I can't believe no one has shared here... It does say "welcomed"? Well it's a pleasure to get to know your character- I like your style ;) This one stands out to me.
