Arturo Michael Poet Free verse

The Me Within

Now when I Smile I feel 

it’s coming from the Heart

Not like I Used to smile 

when I did it for Likes...


Something has changed in me

or maybe Rearranged to be

What I am Now is no longer behind Closed Doors...


I am Changing… 

I have to tell it like it is...

No Disrespecting…. 

How you choose ~ Your Choice to live


I know that I’m Changing

Words flow out My mind

I’m More understanding

What’s Good I'll do this time


Yes, I am Changing…  

Into the Someone I've always been...


The Me within...

Paula Goldsmith June 30, 2021 at 8:39 AM What a creative write. Some change as they age for the better and some do not. I guess we all live with the me within. Just some do it better than others. You are a wonderful writer. Wish you would write more. Have a blessed day writing away.....................

Panagiota Romios August 23, 2019 at 12:44 PM Very impressed with you! Not only as a poet, but your genuineness. I know it's nothing near the changing we do in order To be better. That's baloney. You discoverd the you who you always have been is the you today. You met yourself, that's transformational.. That's how I see this. Panagiota Arturo Michael August 25, 2019 at 3:50 PM You are right...you spend most of your life trying to recreate yourself only to end up where you started...with you...

Kelly Deschler July 21, 2019 at 9:23 PM A beautiful poem Arturo... I like the depth and sincerity in this... I can relate to it so well... Keep up the great writing! Arturo Michael July 24, 2019 at 8:10 AM Thank you Kelly...A lovely day to you and all around you....

Sand Blown July 19, 2019 at 10:40 AM now what you need is a preserving agent...a term for that is 'slow-down' : )

Jennifer Proxenos July 18, 2019 at 4:22 PM Hi Arturo, inside, outside, growing, changing, older, wiser -- we all go through phases in life Arturo, go with the flow my friend for as long as it takes and enjoy the ride. Such a different write,loved it! Hugs and blessings Jennifer. Arturo Michael July 19, 2019 at 8:47 AM Thanks again Jennifer...

Caren Krutsinger July 17, 2019 at 6:06 AM There is nothing more important to change into than your true self, my friend. It is never completely done, but the journey is wonderful! "when words flow out of my mind" - this happens and I think "where did THAT come from?" giving Trixie all the credit, when I know some of it has to be me. Arturo Michael July 19, 2019 at 8:46 AM We can be so multi dimensional and yet be one...it's a balancing act...giving credit where credit is due...All the best Caren

Gershon Wolf July 16, 2019 at 1:56 PM Perfectly penned... A bit of ancient wisdom is perhaps in order: The Sages wrote that the mark of a true scholar-saint is that his insides are exactly like his outside. Seems relevant to your wonderful write, Arturo! Best wishes, gw Arturo Michael July 16, 2019 at 5:03 PM Gracias Gershon...I've been going through a phase...I hope it ends soon...I feel so distant...Thanks for your good wishes...this man need them all...

Heidi Sands July 16, 2019 at 9:04 AM Great one Arturo! Positive growth and change :) Arturo Michael July 16, 2019 at 1:02 PM CHANGE Heidi...CHANGE...I'm beginning to... Thanks for the support I cherish it...

Charles Messina July 16, 2019 at 6:24 AM This is great Arturo. Funny how we change with age, I guess it's true...the older we get the wiser we get. Too many people have fake smiles but when it comes from the heart it really shows. Have a great day... Arturo Michael July 16, 2019 at 1:00 PM Hello Charles, thanks for the Big Up... but you know, you got to put something on before you go out side, and for the fortunate a smile can get them by...not an easy ting to shake off

Demetrios Trifiatis July 16, 2019 at 1:09 AM Growing older and wiser my friend! Great news dear, Arturo! Very well written! Arturo Michael July 16, 2019 at 12:53 PM Well...pain is a good teacher and time can do wonders...
