The Best I Am Poems

Details | I Am Poem |

you are, i am

open your doors
close all the windows
sleeping's such a bore
suffocate it with pillows

psh, i'm not hellbent
shut your mouth
it's called character development
WOOPS. broke routine again
and the poem's gone south.

made myself out to be the bad guy
so they wouldn't feel as sad when i die
so many
so many damn times you told me
all those uplifting words regarding my significance
did i ever stop to listen?
now look at all this tension

i am the patient
you're the asylum
this heart rate is hesitant
unless you revive them

i'm the addiction and
you are the needle 
i'm the mutilation 
you're the scars that will heal

i am the stash 
and you're the supplier
i am the match and
you are the fire

you are the truth
and i am the dare
you are the daydream
i'm the nightmare

i am the cigarette
you are the lighter
i am the pirouette
you're the choreographer 

we all are so sad
we've both lost our thrill
that's just too bad but
we both know the drill
 

made myself out to be the bad guy

so i wouldn't feel as sad when i die

CALL MY NAME



The whisper of dawn calls my name
gliding like a softly-bathed air: tangy
and afloat with a spice of mint 
in christened pools   lithely buoyant.
A path of upturned twigs rip free
to sail along bobs of peppered dew;
dewy in a way new sunrise adorns
pastel fingers where wings of ray
become intricate as it is daring ; calling
forth, 'Daughter of Light'..."Light's Daughter"
till the fragrance of earth   winds
huffs upon morn's sweet delicacy ,

bearing my mythical seal  upon gracious earth.

PAS MUET

PAS MUET

I am a puppy here
The smallest
The skinniest
The silentest (is that even a word)
Stotteraar
Bègue

I wheel my wheels among them
The alpha dogs
The loud ones
I am silent
Bègue

My eyes are open wide
I watch them
Follow their every move
My mouth clammed shut
Bègue

My hands write nervously
On my notepad
With my pencil
My words arranged in neat sentences
Bègue

He understands though
He smiles with fun, no pity there
We go way back
He is my psychiatrist.
Bègue

In silence I contemplate
But silent I am not
My words are multi coloured
I like them
Niet stom
Not mute

Pas muet.
Pas muet.

I Am Who I Am

I Am Who I Am

Date: Wed, Dec 23 2015 at 8:11 PM

I don't wear no disguise
My True Self I can't hide
Without God I don't want to Rise
I like to look at the Storms Rage an Waves an its tides
I not Surprised of the Storm preys on my Demise
God is real and He's not far to find
I fight to win the ultimate prize
But this not a race between you and I
I can prove I'm not like these other guys
Light in me bright as the Sunrise
So I got to let my Sun Shine
But the Moon comes an tries to make the Sun Die
Life is a roller coaster but it's a fun ride
Just to ride it one time
I like to let my wings Skydive
An fly like an Eagle through the Cloud Smiles
If you want to fly with me be ready for the Clouds Vows
The Storm in this Life
No need to be afraid when the Thunder Sounds
Got to be Strong when Weak & Strife
Won't pay you to fly with me through the Nights
Cause I'm destined for great Heights
An we all destined in destiny's Sight
To meet her you will have to fight & Sacrifice
To choose live Right
 Use your God Given Gifts to Strike
Your Art from the Sparks
That you Draw
Life is like a See Saw
Still Unique from the feats of my Flaws
Come to my room you'll see all the Writings on the Wall
If God not clapping for me there's no need for a Applause
I take a Bow when I get Heavens Standing Ovation
I Mediate on Mountains right now I'm on the Appalachians
Just for Higher Meditation
At a Height of Elevation
Just to listen to my Higher Self for Revelations
The Evil & Good Thoughts that's Incinerating
I can feel negative energy when it's Waving
I Listen to the music in my heart an Listen to what it's saying
We can be Godly and Satanic
Show Love & Hate in the Same Formations
Off and On Manipulations
I'm chasing God & Greatness
I'll be damned if the devil take it
They say you got to fake it to make it
Nah I'm to be Patient & Dedication
With Concentration until the Conformation Confiscated
I'm too Thorough to Let Fakeness be my Acceleration
I'm Second Guessed but I don't agree with those Calculations
Or those Estimations
See here's the real Equation
I had to do Division & Multiplication
In my Circumference in my Radius
Trying to put my mark in the Pavement
From starting from the basement
To the Maintenance
To get to the highest level of the skyscrapers
I Thank God for all the Favors
An for Jesus being my Savior my Lifesaver
I see myself as the White Ranger
Fighting with my Light Saber
Against Dark Vador
Through his Dark Capers
I see the Dark Vapors
Alot of times I wish I had a Eraser
To Erase alot of unwanted choices
That made me Poison
Through my Voyage
I could of Avoided it
An Destroyed It
Instead I made an Appointment Visit
Still with my Ointment Anointment on me Written
But I'm to live with it
If you could feel what I feel it would be intensive
It's not over until God Say it is Finished
You can't see me Scars but my flaws in a Blemish
Respect for Who I Am with Suspicions from the Critics
I am still Well Winded
I don't need to fit in
I'm not a Chameleon
Cause I'm not Bending
An I'm not Blending
We is not Mixing
But I am a Chemist
When it comes to Inventing Inventions
An going through Dimensions
I write Riddles with Symbolism
You can Understand if you Encrypting Hieroglyphics
I'm a Spiritualist
I'm not Religious
But I Know God living
That's because we got a Kinship
You can learn if you study His Manuscripts
The Blueprints of why we Exist
I have Spiritual Gifts 
& Psychic Wit
I'm on a Psych Trip
Using the Vastness of The Mind Ticks
So I get to using Wisdom & Enlightenment
To Writing
To Release the Little Giant
To Release the Lion
To Breath out the Sirens
Inside My Mind Spiraling
Striking the Strings of The Violins
An Play the Music Inside That Spins

The other me - a tribute to drag queens

The other me you'd be quite surprised
She wears high heels, makes up her eyes
she parades around, singing lively songs
telling bawdy jokes where she belongs

Upon the stage, she's not alone
for in that bar, the stage, her home.
Dressed head to foot in sequinned gowns
the punters watch her earn her crown.
The greatest sight they've ever seen,
to them she is, the peoples 'queen'.

Every night there in that bar, 
They come to watch her, she's the star.
She gives the punters what they want
Singing lively songs, to which they chant.

Then when it's time to close the doors,
she exits with rapturous applause.
They clap and shout and scream her name,
She revels in that loving fame.

When the show is o'er and done,
she's back to where she first begun.
She removes her wig, takes off her makeup,
and now it's time for him to wake up.

Oh there he is, where has he been?
pretending to be the people's queen.
It's back to some normality,
is she a he?, or he a she?

You see, the answer is quite clear,
She's a he and he's a queer.
Earning cash from having toiled
in late night bars,
burning midnight oil.

Septembers Last Breath

Twenty four dead roses
Heat waves and reposes
No one knows what never was
Autumn breezes sing in melancholy hues

Flowers dance around paupers grave
Buried now yet never saved
From life's despair or a loving hand
Sadness is the graves last grand stand

Loneliness lost in cobbled stone alleys
No one sees the empty tear
Anxiety knifes the lonely mans fear
Autumn winds chant yet no one hears

Four and score and long ago
Childhood memories in rivers flow
Now dry and scorched on withered page
Dead poets lost in the mind of a sage

Red Light

have you ever felt like 
the flashing red light on the roof,
lonely as ever
visible at night, useless by day?

in sync with its partner next door
for a quick kiss over a few flashes only 
then arguing again and again 
night in, night out.

have you ever felt like 
the flashing red light on the roof,
not signaling a warning to keep away
but sending a call for compassion?

using the dark pauses in between 
to yell the same name 
over and over and over
into the emptiness of each night.

have you ever felt like
the flashing red light on the roof,
being your silent cry
only heard by your eternal love?

Who Am I

I am the someone in no one
I am the beginning and the end
I am the alpha and omega
I am your true best friend

I am not here nor there
I am that I am
I am the son of my father
I am the lion I am the lamb

I am the you in the me
I am the all in all things
I am the one that shows you love
I am the king of all kings

I am forever forgiving
I am the one that gives you sight
I am at the right hand of my father
I am the way I am the light.

TOURETTE

"Can you sit still, for a change?
and stop the annoying clicking?"
I'm trying hard! It doesn't work!
I click, and keep on ticcing

"Sit in the back, don't want to see
your twisted face much longer
Pick up your notepad and your pen
Before I show my anger"

I spent my years in school alone
A quiet, silent dreamer
Because of what I couldn't control
I grew defensive armour

And only now I understand
That deep inside my heart hurts
That I am allowed to be just me
With my freaky quirky outbursts

This is just me, a little guy
Who writes and loves his wordplay
Who opens up his heart for you
So smile and please, please stay.

Savior

There's a cross....in Jerusalem
Waiting there......for everyone
Justice speaks...One word
Guilty

The hammer rules in the darkness there
Death confirmed....by a Roman spear
There's a cross in Jerusalem.....
Oh but wait......
There's a baby in Bethlehem!

Savior

There's a house.....falling fast
Foundation tears....Stones are cast
Future speaks.....one word
Uncertainty

Chaos rules......in the turmoil there
Wounded pride....Rips the atmosphere
There's a house......falling fast
Oh but wait......
There's a carpenter in Nazareth

Savior

You are a memory of a well learned lesson

Sitting here all alone 
Getting lost in my head 
Wandering off in the fields of your game  
Soaked by the pouring rain of your lies 
Burned by the pain spreading like a wild fire
Silent tears aflow speeding down to lakes 
I am left stranded on the brink of drowning 
alone

Lost in my dark world 
Dwelling on the past 
Letting anger boiling in my heart 
My mind is on fire spitting harsh words
I am miles away from forgiving 

Time speeds away and tomorrow becomes today
Still you are rewinded in my head 
And time and again sitting in my own pool of tears 
Never realized how much precious time had slipped away stealing a piece of me into damnation 
 
I am hurt 
I am broken 
I am sad
And I am worn out 
So today I am going to care for me
I am forgiving you to fade out of my mind

From this day on you are a memory of a well learned lesson 
Today I am walking with my head up
and smile like I just received a box of Macadamia chocolate 
I am free and I'm gonna love me more
Peace out... 

Smile

Message To My Jewish Brother

Satan is destroying your graveyards
And defacing your Synagogues
Now you remember that
You are black too

Who I am

I am who I am
Not because I want to be, but because I have to be
I have no name, no identity
I am a blank face in a blank world
There is no color, only blacks and whites

When I open my eyes
There is nothing that surrounds me
The world is empty and silent 
I roam all alone with no one by my side
Emotions do not exist
I cannot cry, nor can I smile
Because of this, I am who I am 

As my life carries on
The days grow shorter and the nights grow longer
I sit under the stars and I stare at the moon 
The voices mock me and the faces smirk
I run, run as fast as I can 

No matter how fast my legs seem to go 
They appear to be sinking 
With every attempt to escape
I only sink more and more 
I am unable to break free from my prison 
I am unable to see what’s right in front of me 
This is who I am 

The things that I do and the things that I say 
They are what define me
They are what make me “me”
I am molded into a sculpture that I have not made myself
I am the vision of what someone else has created

I try and try to sew myself back together
But my needle is worn and my fabric is torn
Every stitch seems to become unmended 
Nothing will stay in place
Because of this, I am scattered across the floor
I can’t pick myself up
Allowing others to walk right on over me 

I am who I am
Not because I want to be, but because I have to be
I have no name, no identity
I am a blank face in a blank world
There is no color, only blacks and whites

Darkness Lies

The curtains close , darkness takes the place 
of light he reevaluates his life takes a good look
 at the man inside and he asks "who am i" and so
 his thoughts run rampant with question that only
 lead him deeper into the answer he has always feared
 but he keeps on un afraid of what is ahead until he is
 face to face to his true reflection and he sees that he
 isn't the monster he always thought he would find under
 the masks all he sees is a scared little kid who has
 spent his life in the dark so long that the light frightens
 him deeper into the fascade of lies.

Self Aware of Love

And she thought words were beautiful even in the early morning….
The heart she bare on her sleeve was as transparent as her apologetic warnings. Daydreaming consistently,she was flawed but not boring. . Her every breath inhaled the scent of constant passion;
Pressing a pen onto paper was her weapon against reaction.
The complexity of her ways. ..left even the wisest to contemplating for days. This is not just a phase. .To be cursed with the constant of empathetic waves. Being so humbled, it hurts. Life was no game;Her love just put you first.
It’s just how she was created. .Never because she self -hated. . She never deserved to be ill-fated. .
She says that she’ll Fake it. Fake it until she makes it. I believe her because she’s strong.Where she is, is where she belongs.
This is how some are left confused--
Tilt there heads because there amused. Amused…to see someone not fighting to prove.
Feeling no need to ramble bad vocabulary.Is in comparison quite the contrary.
She enjoys observing the surroundings while listening. She want to get what she’s been giving. What Im trying to convey..Even if your in your battle everday.
Never let others change your ways.
Never let circumstances cause dismay.

Reverse

Today, I reversed my clock
turned it backwards
like counter clockwise
changed the numbers on the face


To wind back the days
to undo the ways
To come back upon a place
that is forever in my memory

Was then I had a thought
into the other realms

Of a new kind of world
to take back the helms

One where we get good for the good
and bad gets bad for the hold
Turning us back
to never get old

Its a new way of thinking
a new kind of time
a new kind of longevity
a new kind of rhyme

a new kind of discovery
a new kind of feeling
a new kind of reality
a new kind of healing

When we change how we think
and our thoughts in that line
Its a secret I know
of this wave of the sine

The planet turns counter clock wise
The solar system turns counter clock wise
The galaxy turns in proximity of that

The highest of leaders
all knew of this chat

And this is how they got us all turned wrong
we've been misled 
for time does not exist
its only behind
And its in the written mysteries
That only we can find
if we only learned to think with our 'own' mind.

Who i am

I Am a prisoner of love 
 bound to forgive 
   and taught to pursue peace
Taking pleasure in the flowering of the truth
 is my daily routine 
I’ve lost appetite hearing lies 

Many times i’ve attempted to escape
from my cellblock  
But the freedom i’ve found in love 
is so overwhelming 
it brings me down on my knees
prostrate upon the altar of love
There my deep emotions gushes out
groaning fervently in prayers 
the world embraces love
 
I am sold out for love
My ego is no longer central
and there is no turning back
Am home 
it's where i belong 
This will forever be my song

Aquarius


I always saw myself, a rarity
My inner peace comes with clarity
I'm so extreme, it often seems
The world is so unfair to me

Then I was called an Aquarius 
Turns out, there are many of us
About as rare as a rocking chair
Or a pecan in a can of nuts

But how in the world could it be
Are there really others, just like me
Deliriously mysterious
Tempting the line of both extremes

I've accepted that I'm strange
Agreed that I won't change
But I was taught, it was my fault
It was I who was deranged

Now I just observe
I need not speak a word
No longer blind, I see my kind
I admit, it seems absurd 

As if I walk around
Without speaking sound
But even still, others will
Know I am a clown

They'll know I'm awfully odd
By the transparency of my facade
I cannot hide, won't tell a lie
They'd know I was a fraud

Just look at my date of birth
It will tell you what I'm worth
No need to wait, inevitable fate
Now you know henceforth

Humble Thunder

All the others row the boat slow while I crank up the motor....
Here we go, lets start the show, I'm the show boater.

The entrance of the eminent,
with a brilliant ability that's evident.
Poo fills your pants as you now know you haven't a chance.

I've had it with those who flow with a transparent talent,
the thumpy clumpy rhyme skill of an elephant, 
poets of any age who should be thinking about retirement,
a skill that's transparent is a skill that you haven't.

I'm the standard setter and I lack compassion,
my skills measured and better than the competition.
Your rhymes are rotten 
that's why you're forgotten.
Forget the dogs bollocks
you're the dogs bottom.

I'll write with a rhythm representing Great Britain.
You write like you've been bitten and disease ridden.

I've a hyperactive mind that'll leave you behind,
it's not that I'm being unkind but simple minds can't find the words to bind,
people like you stumble over the single syllable rhyme.

I started writing and I'm unstoppable, it's easy it's natural,
you're a hangover fart that lingers and smells like a holocaust chemical.

I'm superhuman and causing confusion, 
it's amusing how you need the supervision to point out you're losin'.

You need to train your face to look humble when defeated,
I'm on a mission to book first place so applaud when I'm awarded, 
clap my victory and stand don't remain seated.

Accept it and expect it, 
or quit now while you have time to forfit.

I wonder if you'll blunder under the sound of my thunder,
if it's misheard, 
I've got a box of frost to start biting,
if it's squandered,
and you carry on like a fighter,
I'll strike you with lightening,
one way or another you will not win top writer.

Respect the perspective that my rhyme is perfected,
and to conclude your rhyme is rejected.
Not to be rude but your seat is to be ejected,
it's not that you're bad it's that I am majestic.

So This Is Finally It

So this is finally it? 
It is in this moment that I will choose to use or to quit.
Do I remember or do I choose instead to again forget.

For so long you have been the direct cause for so much of my pain,
and yet I still cling to you like an infant to its' mother.
So completely terrified of the world just beyond her grasp.

A decade ago I was converted by your power, 
I have since then been one of your most devoted followers.

The back alley bible is what you preach. 
A gospel so alluring that there is no barrier you can't cross,
No soul soul out of your reach.

More Than a Conqueror

The Hop Devil you've already been defeated
You've been thrown out of heaven
So now you're casting lots trying to defeat me
But what you don't understand is it's not part of God's plan
I am a man and I take my stand
And I must insist I shall resist
Those fiery darts headed for my mind and my heart 
I'm going to be more than a conqueror
More than a conqueror I'm more than a conqueror yes I am
More than a conqueror
I am excising my authority over the enemy or
I am more than a conqueror
More than a conqueror I am more than a conqueror 
Yes I am more than a conqueror
I am exercising my authority over the enemy
 I am an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb
I am more than a conqueror yes I am
I can't be defeated but this is not part of God's plan
Satan get thee behind me but I am taking a stand
More than a conqueror I'm more than a conqueror 
Yes I am more than a conqueror
Satan I rebuke in you and in myself I resist my thoughts
But my Lord my God has helped me be this conqueror
More than a conqueror
More than a conqueror
I've got my trust in Jesus and my God has supplied my armor
I will go to war into the battlefield soothe it up and holy gear
I am ready for the battle and I shall not have been more than a conqueror
I am more than a conqueror yes I am
I am exercising my authority over the enemy
Bring it all Lucifer I am free the fiery darts will no longer persuade me
I have authority over you I rebuke you I'm suited up in righteousness
Time to end of this faithfulness the victory is the Lord and he has overcome
I am more than a conqueror yes I am

Warts And All

Too long the nights, too crass the sprites
That beckoned Bacchus blush
Cerebral touch, evading clutch
Leaves only busted flush

To close the gate, to wipe the slate?
Nothing to recall?
No, let it lie, they can't deny
He painted, warts and all.

A Little Candle Chapter 2

I may be just a little white candle
With a little light on me
Even if I melt 
I will hold my last little light
With a hope to warm someone's heart 
Even for a while.

I may be just a little white candle
With the most heartwarming little light
I burn my own precious life
Just for you to see the bright world 
Bringing the brightness together with me
In every smile
Before i melt
Even for a while.
