I Am Just Me

An I Am Poem

I am here for a reason

A reason that’s beyond me

A reason that’s not just me

A story I must craft

A script I must write

For without the words, the emotions know no voice

And this is not just me

It’s every story of every character

I call upon the energy within me to surge

I call upon the elements to come forth

I am all I can be if you let me

But without this universe, I am just me.

I am an island

I stand on the edge of all that is known

With visions that stretch beyond the horizon

Each breath I take is not just my own

It’s the pulse of time, the beat of creation

For I am a vessel of a truth unseen

A whisper carried by winds, deep and keen

I call upon the fire within me to burn

I call upon the tides of life to turn

I am all I can be if you let me

But without this universe, I am just me

I came across this wonderful ‘I Am’ series challenge and this is my first piece indulging in the same.

It has been cathartic mustering up words to define who I think I am or possibly could be.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Here are a few more brilliant writers from this publication that I have enjoyed reading.

I love the persistence of hope in this piece by Chrysa Stergiou
