I, am myself
One; alone
For I know what I know
And none can be done
I watch my life pass me by
Wondering what is nigh
I laugh a soft laugh
A cry with tears
For the ones I hold so dear
I pass through the open door
To spread my wings to implore
I feel as a river softly rushing by
Through the trees I try
Thus, alone I cannot go
Must I be the one to follow
I doubt not that which is set
That I may have a future yet
Day by Day I take myself
And try to make my wealth
Thus, alone I am one
Me, Myself, and I are none

on I'm not a poet by the-other-matt, on August 24, 2007
LOVE IT!
What really defines a poet? Is it how well everything is located on the page, the soothing words that mean something to everyone, or the thought of know you wrote something you like even if someone else doesn't. I believe that you don't have to have a college major in english or writting to be a poet. I think poetry comes from the person you ARE! Poetry isn't just words on paper scribbled in with a pen... They are meaningful thoughts that describe you, as a person. I Love this poem because it show that who care if you know where to put the commas, semicolons, and ellipses... all that matters is that if comes from you and that you know what it means. Everyone has the potential to write; just most people don't because they have been told that they can't because of all the rules in the english language... Well I say forget the rules and write let the passion flow from your fingertips and tell the world what you mean. WONDERFUL POEM! ABSOULUTLY LOVE IT!
