Finally I Know Who I Am
By mr_soul
08 March 2008
Well, I think I do

It was only last night

When I met myself

It took me so long

But now I know who I am

For years I had known

That I wasn’t like them

Or anyone else

But it wasn’t till you came

That I fully understood

The person that I am

And the person I wanted to be.

People they’ll laugh

If only they knew

People they’ll scorn me

If they found out the truth.

Yet it doesn’t matter to me anymore

From that I can rise above

‘Cause all of that cursing

Will be overcome by love.

I liked this and it has a powerful undertone and a strong message. The people around us who think they know us so well are so often the people that know us the least.

All too often the door to your own potential is unlocked because other people have seen in you something that you have not seen in yourself - your hidden spark, perhaps. Everyone has a special talent, but it is just finding it which is difficult.. I agree with your message, but think you should come to our poetry workshop to learn how to better put it into poetry, ha ha. (Poets' Tavern).
