In Essence, My Essence

This is who I am. This is my essence. This is me, slammed down into words.

Every rampant thought,

Every spoken word,

Every written phrase,

Is me, in essence.

 

In essence, my essencse is loud;

it's annoying;

it's rude;

it's volatile.

 

In essence, my essence is friendly;

it's loyal;

it's free;

it's dramatic.

 

In essence, my essence is destructive;

it's confused;

it's errant;

it's dynamic.

 

In essence, my essence is that of a writer;

it's that of an actress;

it's that of a friend;

it's that of a poet.

 

In essence, my essence is everything about me;

it's everything I am;

it's everything I know about myself.

In essence, my essence is me.

[Nathan Durham]

That was really deep. I liked how you repeated some parts to emphasize who you are. The style and form made this poem flow well.
