I AM!

Sometime when we think God didn’t answer our prayers, we just didn't realize he did by giving us the strength to do it ourselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I AM!

Truly, I am,

 

a woman that has been beat down,

crawling on hands and knees.

Begging for God to make it stop,

He answered none of these.

Who will be the one to end this,

to make this nightmare cease?

 

I AM!

Truly, I am,

 

a woman that has fought to leave,

to build a better life.

Homeless, shelters and hungry kids,

strangers craving such strife.

Who will help me find us a home,

someone more than a wife?

 

I AM!

Truly, I am,

 

a mother alone full of fear,

searching for a new way.

My children so dear and trusting,

unsure of what to say.

Who will make this all turn around,

to make blue skies from grey?

 

I AM!

Truly, I am,

 

the one to reach deep down inside,

Move forward and not stray.

A woman with my head held high,

No longer scared to say,

Who is worth everything I did?

Who found a brand new way?

 

I AM!

I AM!

I AM!

Author's Note

I was told a short while ago, to put a little of my past in verse. I waited until I thought I could do it some justice. I am not one to talk of negative...yet it takes the negative and the positive to make a charge. Hope you find my understanding in, this little piece of me.

I love this poem it is very inspirational! Being a strong woman who is independent and doesn't need a man to help her, she is able to pull through on her own. I admire that strength in a woman. I have a friend who would relate well to this poem and I admire her strength and endurance through the strife of her life. I will have to share this with her!

Thank you ,though I must admit that I am a strong woman and I don't need a man...but, the one I am with I wouldn't want to be without.

[Hurdy]

This is great! I thought the repitition in particular was very effective. It was an easy, but nonetheless, powerful and inspiring read. Great message too!

I AM not quite! Haha, but getting there.

This is lovely, I really enjoyed the music also. (:

[Kenneth The Poet]

Very Cartesian...you think, you know therefore you are, therefore you breathe, feel and suffer. A brilliantly constructed lament or what have you.

HOW DO YOU POST A VIDEO DO YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

No, you go to YouTube a find the video you want. Click share and a new box will show up that says EMBED, click that one and copy....then paste it to your authors note box. If you want it to automatically play when you page is brought up, you'll need t message the code to me I will change it as well as show you what I changed to do that and then you'll always be able to do it yourself after that.

I love how at the beginning it seemed as if this was going to be depressing, but you put a positive spin to it that left me thinking, "Wow, that is just what I needed to hear to get me through life. More people should think like this."
