I Am
I am your mind—the thoughts of secret sin
now foster hunger that you’ve never felt.
You tremble with excitement from within,
from daring hopes, with which you’ve never dealt!
I am your will—the choices that you make
are yours, alone, none other to be pleased.
You’ll pay for every choice, make no mistake!
By strength of will, the fates shall be appeased!
I am your dreams—desires yet fulfilled;
experiences yet to come to pass!
Subconsciously, your mind seeks to be thrilled,
for which your conscious mind will risk trespass!
I am your courage—never shall you doubt!
Who shall stand against what you can do?
You live your life in freedom, as you flout
the rules that all those dullards write for you!
I am your voice—so sing your song of joy!
The universe must listen to your song!
Then, when the craft of silence, you employ,
the music of your soul rings loud and strong!
I am your spirit—shining from within,
and everyone you meet can see this truth:
You know and love yourself, without chagrin!
Go, live life to the fullest! No excuse!
now foster hunger that you’ve never felt.

the music of your soul rings loud and strong!

and everyone you meet can see this truth:
You know and love yourself, without chagrin!
Go, live life to the fullest! No excuse!

Everything about this written piece is positively assertive !
I AM is a powerful descriptor.
You have an exceptional gift in sharing your inner self, outwardly ~ 😎🎈🌞🌹🌻

The theological significance of "I AM," or in the Koine Greek, "ἐγώ εἰμί" (ego eimi), is not lost on me... but here there is no claim to godhood!
Thank you!
Thank you!

I'm halfway through a two-week vacation; the source of my enthusiasm, no doubt.

Thank you for the comment.
This poem is a purely artistic impression, and in no way expresses my philosophical or religious views.

This is quite an uplifting remedy for the oppressive drag of the dullards, I love the exclamations, it lifted me up..
