I Am I

I am passionate about my writing. So think what you want of me... but thats how it is.

I am free as bird

Soaring through poetic clouds

On silent wings

Of my celestial beings

 

I am the creation

The source of a cruel world

Heartbreak and depression

Afraid of my own reflection

 

I am shadow in the night

Stalking chaos, watching

With my eyes wide open

 

Words are my remedy

The cure of my disease

A raging plague that lives on

A passion that dies with me

 

I am my own creation

What the world has made of me

The reason my demons rejoice

Poeticly passionate, my drug of choice

 

I Am I

 

"A bone heals

A bruise fades

But Art is forever"

OTEP - 'SELF MADE'

[Nicholas Hallows]

From this poem there is no doubt you are passionate about your writing. And you're right, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks as long as you are always passionate about what you do. NH

Great write.
I like the imagery.
Have fun.

Great subject - you shouldn't care what anyone else has to say about your work as long as you're pleased with it.
I guess this makes this review useless, doesn't it? :P
A great flow as usual, great imagery and a great deal of passion.

nobody ever said that life was free
Sank, swam, go down with the ship
but use your freedom of choice"

dang, this reminds me of a lot of what i write.
about what I am, the creation, but in turn the creator.
such beautiful word choices as well.
such as:
words are my remedy :)
and the:
soaring through poetic clouds

You've tapped into an inner well of strength with this one. Well written and well thought out. This is one of my favorites.

One of my favourite sayings is something Eleanor Roosevelt once said:
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent"

I love this stanza:
"Words are my remedy
The cure of my disease
A raging plague that lives on
A passion that dies with me"

Great write!
