To Know Me Is To Love Me

To Know Me Is To Love Me

A Poem by Terrell A. Pullen

Who am I?
Glad that you asked
Some see me in their own way
This is who I am

I am the bird's song
Awakening life's unexplained
The morning music that's heard
The sound that can't be contained

4 dark concrete walls with windows
Protecting a red, red rose
Ugly on the outside
Until the inside's story is told.

Who am I?
One saying explains this to you
To know me is to love me
That explanation is true

I am a forest
Filled with trees that may cry
Go deeper into my forest
A tree that gives life is what you may find

I am a learner, a lover, a teacher
A follower of the king above
He sends me to the lonely
I am a manifestation of his love

Who am I?
One saying explains this to you
To know me is to love me
That explanation is true.

I am judged by the first look
Often seen to be the bad guy
Most don't see the real me
They only view with their bad eye

A book never read
Never critically acclaimed
Open your eyes
Use your mind
Get into mines
You're vision of me will be changed

Who am I?
One saying explains this to you
To know me is to love me
That explanation is true.

I love the representations of yourself through the forest and the book,
I especially liked the way this flowed as I read it.
My favourite was the second stanza:

"I am the bird's song
Awakening life's unexplained
The morning music that's heard
The sound that can't be contained "

This was beautiful, and extremely well written.
I loved this. =)
