Short Made Me Who I Am Poems

She is my hero
Without her I wouldn't be here
If it wasn't for her I don't know I would be
She made me who I am
She is always there no matter what kind of trouble I'm in
She will do anything for her kids
She helps me with my work
She teaches me right from wrong
She will die for her kids
She love me for me
She is my mom and I LOVE her...

MAN
I am a man
brown skin as an African American,
and yet God made me who I am.
My blood is clear until it explodes in the air, 
I have two eyes a nose and a mouth,
I live physically as well as spiritually,
I praise and pray to the Lord continually.
I am a man

tonight i realized.
in the midnight sky.
that i need you.
you are my light.
I sat alone in the dark for so long.
Now i broke away. 
but here i sit again.
Were you really the one who broke me free.
Who set me free?
The one i love.
Could it be.
You are the answer to everything i need
You made me who i am and will be.
Something more than a fantasy.
You became a part of me....

if it makes you active 
then it is poisitive
no matter where i will be
i'll try to keep that in mind
if it makes me active
then i see no reason to quit
i've been through a lot of stress 
because of hangin with the wrong crowds
the drama they pulled back in the day
has made me who i am today
i try to stay positive 
activated by the best weed
that brings me closer to my talent...

I wish I fit into your lives.
But we grew up so differently.
You tried,
To be there for me when we were kids
But I didn't know how to let you in.
I made myself appear strong,
So you wouldn't see me breaking.
It felt as though,
That is what you needed.
You will never understand,
The pain,
That has made me who I am.
And for that I am grateful,
But I know that means
We will never be close....

Working toward my purpose 
who I am God knows me 
He made me who I am
 and I'm who's I am in Him
Where I am 
I am here
 Where I'm going further in God 
Working toward my purpose
 I want to be around 
When my Father's Son comes down
 I've grown beyond the surface
 I'm working toward my purpose 
My Father says I am worth it 
Working toward my purpose

If it is change I want to see in the world,
I better start with me.
I need to let go of my past
and set my soul free.

The struggles in my past,
have made me who I am today.
I’ve done things I’m not proud of,
I was lost and wandered astray.

Today becomes yesterday
and in a cycle it goes.
My ambition to become
something more grows and grows.

All I've ever wanted 
was something to live for.
I don’t want to feel 
insignificant anymore....

I WALK AROUND WITH A BACKPACK FULL OF MEMORIES, DOZENS OF PICTURES, AND MOMENTS CAPTURED IN MY HEART AND MIND.

I WISH I COULD RETURN TO SOME MOMENTS, AND THERE ARE SOME MOMENTS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO EASE FROM EXISTENCE.

MY EXPERIENCES HAVE MADE ME WHO I AM, A UNIQUE, EMOTIONAL, LOVING, AND CARING MAN.

THE BEATINGS THAT I HAVE TAKEN FROM LIFE HAVE MADE ME A STRONGER, VIGILANT INDIVIDUAL.

I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW WHO I AM........

Listen to poem:

Sixty years flashed by in one big blur
A life with scatterings of luck and good times
No, I certainly can’t complain ~
Obstacles and challenges made me who I am today

Could have tried harder but harbor no remorse
I figure I’ll be ready to face my Maker
But till then, I’ll strive to live at least a few more years ~
Long enough to compensate for wasted time along the way

If I could turn back the hands of time I wouldn't change a thing. My past has made me who I am, and helped me be the person God Yahweh has created me to be. Through the gift of God Yahweh, I have been given liberty through the redemption of my sins, Yeshua, my Lord has given to me, and all humanity. The journey I have taken has brought me to my destination, and one day will lead me to my heavenly home....

i wonder when will all these nightmares come to an end
i breathe but i'm not happy
i just fight with everybody i come across
what i see in their eyes is mock and ridicule
i feel weak,not to speak to my dearest ones
what is it that made me who i am today?
is it my past or my ambitions for a bright future?
it's clear that my future is not promising 
it's because i turned down the only thing 
that many people think it would have made me 
the man they always wanted me to be...

Change

As I try to change myself
To be the best I can
Seems I always come up short
I just don’t understand
That doesn’t mean that I wont try
To change myself again
Because I know if I give up
I have no chance to win
I'll try each day to do my best
With hope I don’t give in
For the heart of all my pleasure
Is found within my sin
So I seek strength upon the cross
Trust in his greater plan
To lead me not to the temptation
That made me who I am

Life is a struggle when you feel so alone.
Missing your family and childhood home.
These days are so different than what it used to be.
I wish we were together again living happily.
As I look thru old pictures tears roll off my cheek.
Remembering times we've shared like just because memories.
Having you in my life has made me who I am.
Down in my roots
My future and my past.
We may be miles away 
I carry you in my heart
I love you more than you know
Even passed the shining stars....

I know what has happened to me
Deep inside my past
But I don't regret the things
That have been done to me
Because it made me who I am
I know it took sometime for me
To believe in myself
But I hate what he's done to me
And my family he killed
I hate him and I will never forgive him
For what he has done
But I know deep inside of me
I would like to see him burn
I hate him I really truly do
I just hope he's hurt know one
And no one will hurt him
The way that he's hurt me and you...
