The I Within Me

“THE I WITHIN ME”
In your eyes I might not be right
But I know I’m not wrong
You said I’m not a part of you
But I know where I belong
You live with so much hate
But my love remain strong,
Stronger and stronger
I know I will be
The same soul you have in you
Is the same soul I have in me.

Everything in this Universe
Is for you as it’s for me
My dreams become Reality
Because I believe in me
The same I within you
Is the same I within me
One Love one aim
With the same destiny

A star of the Universe
And that’s how I will be
Because I know that my God
Lives inside of me
So if I am within you
And you are within me
Whatever in this world
That I cannot be

I may not walk on water
I may not Part the sea
I may not raise the dead
Or even cause the blind to see
I know I am powerful
A roaring lion I will be
I will never be a victim
Of this society
One thing I know for sure
And forever it will be
The same I within you
Is the same I within me

Vicki Acquah December 22, 2015 at 9:34 PM vrynicepoetry/ I esp liked the Marcus quote: (One Love, One aim With the same destiny) hopefully after we all see our makers our individual destiny will be guided by the "universal law" of retribution. ase'
