MY I AM

I wrote me a book
I wrote it all down
Every single word
That dressed me a clown

I charted me a map
I charted statements of fear
Every single action committed
Leading to the -X-, right here


~MY HEART~

Boom...BOOM, BOOM
I can hear the native drum, beat
Every sound, sending away
Creative energy running to defeat

.............Shr...ink...ing.....back

You can not be, they said
You are certainly not that
No one will even consider
YOU...on a PLAT...form

Saying a WORD of meaning
Such ideas are too high
For those as lowly as you
Give them to me
And I will take them for a ride
Doing more than others could do

....oh, I will mention your name

Today, my little thieves
It is time for you to retreat
Into caves and graves
I know WHO I AM
And my gift is free
With responsibility
To bring forth the gift LOVE gave

I will SPEAK TRUTH
