I Am (A Poem)
A while back in the Pink Community, Michelle posted a poem inspired by her life coach called "I Am" that encouraged other Pinkies to take a stab at writing their own "I Am" poem. First I took a stab and now here is Shari's beautiful response. We've found this exercise to be enlightening, encouraging and inspiring. Read on, Pinkies! -- Megan Monique
I Am
I am fire and ice
Though I try to be nice
I’m passionate and caring
And sometimes I’m daring
I’m brave but I am meek
Some could say I’m a freak
I’m crazy but mostly normal
I believe in things paranormal
I am spiritual but I have my doubt
I’ve searched my soul inside and out
I am dedicated, and full of love
I believe in my angels up above
I am stubborn, but I am giving
Working on being forgiving
I’m obsessive and compulsive
Would love to be impulsive
I’m Introspective not extroverted
My sense of humor’s a bit perverted
I’m insecure but I am strong
Still not sure where I belong
I’m all of the above
All that and then some
So here I am for all to see
A bit of everything, that is me

By sYda (not verified) on Saturday, 09/04/2010 at 2:53 PMJust beautiful! It has reminded me that I wrote a poem titled "I Am" as a teenager. I must dig it out and write a new one. Or, should that be the other way around?
As Tracy commented..."We're all so different and really all so alike."
Isn't it funny, when I read
