I Am Me
That which makes me vulnerable
also affords me strength
protecting those I love
to any needed length
Kindness and compassion
for disadvantaged and meek
belief in service
for the sick and the weak
Empathetic by nature
no judgement of thee
a walk in your shoes
allowing me to see
Not without fault
far from perfection
apology for mistakes
builds a connection
I have no pedestal
for which to stand
when in your darkness
extending my hand
Caring and forgiving
I was raised to be
gazing in my mirror

Dear M,
I feel like this is something that should be learned, memorized and prayed everyday. I enjoyed every line and your rhyming is the envy of all the land. An incredibly lovely write with such a huge and powerful message.

I can tell this reflective pen came from the heart, thank you for sharing such a personal anthem.

When one has been hurt, sensitivity to the pain of others is heightened. Who would know better how it feels? Beautifully introspective piece
