I am me

When the lights go out and leave you standing in the rain,
When you feel there's no one to save you from drowning in your pain,
When you think you are lonely enough to let out a cry
It's the expression in your mind that encourages you to give one more try.

When the stars shine bright and leave you enchanted by their charm,
Thinking it to be a fantasy when your heart sends you triggers and alarm
When you feel that the reality is too tempting to be true,
It's the expression in your mind that reminds you - hard work often comes out of the blue.

When life moves on and leave you hoping for a sign,
When you feel yourself as worthless as tartaric wine
When your friends move on like wolves leaping across you,
It's the expression in your mind that inspires you that you are unique too.

When all the solutions black out and doors fade away,
It's these expressions of your mind that can enlighten you like a sun rays
All you need to do is to tell yourself that you can do it and the world will see,
I am the trailblazer, I am special, I am me

Nicely crafted uplifting poem! I like how you use many varied expressions filled with imagery to SHOW more than tell (stars, tartaric wine, wolves). Your enthusiasm & encouragement is nicely tempered, not too "RAH! RAH! (feels annoying when down). Your rhyming is solid but your line-lengths can get a little drawn out (long). Me being picky, I would trim a word here & there. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your rambling style of speaking for a tightly-crafted poem. It's hard at first & I hated deleting one single word that I felt. But you might get into the thrill of pruning & tightening (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you Soo much for your kind and encouraging review. To tell the truth I too feel that even though the lines have that form that I thought but some are too long. I always try to adjust it but as you said it gets really difficult to cut your own decided words. Thank you you once again for your review. I really appreciate that you paid so much detail 😊❤️

I think there is an excellent message in this rhyming piece although I did struggle a little to wade through the stanzas as they seemed 'heavy' on the eye?

Thank you you so much for your review :) and yes I completely understand the feeling that would have come after seeing the poem as I was also thinking that it looks quite long😁
