Who am I?

by TheTradgedistWhoBecameALover

look beyond my poetry, and you will see a brother, friend, and fellow human being...is that who you are?

Who am I?

All night long I sat in my chair

Waiting for the torture to stop

My hands kept writing the same word over and over

My eyes going down like a sunset

I know I don't have much time to sleep

But time is a mere distraction that needs to be hit

As I wrote this I wondered if people would understand

The significance of going to another world

But then I asked myself…

Who am I?

Very rarely have I felt such dismay

And feelings of being unmotivated

Surely this was all a dream of negativity

Or perhaps it was a premonition

Of things to come that would alter my existence

But as I listened to the music kicking in

I realized…there are more important things in life

I just haven't found them yet

I say this not only as a friend

But as a brother, father, and human

This world was made to bring us together

And I pose to you the question

Do you want to join me?

That's who I am

Let us intertwine our hands

To form a circle of dignity and pride

We are not alone anymore

For those who dare go alone

It is not a bad idea

But you will be weaker

Just keep me in your thoughts

And remember that I'm here for you

That's who I am!
