    I
    Please allow me to introduce myself....
    I am sickness; I am health.
    I am poverty; I am wealth.
    If you didn't hear me coming,
    its because my name is stealth.
    I am indifference; I'm concern.
    I am stupid, so eager to learn.
    I am ice and my touch, it burns.
    I am love and I am hate.
    I am crooked, standing straight.
    Ten minutes early, I'm always late.
    I am your destiny, also your fate.
    I am joy and I am pain.
    My smile is sunshine;
    My tears, the rain.
    I can't go on, yet I sustain.
    It is I on whom you place the blame.
    I am righteous; I am wrong.
    I am short but all too long.
    I am forgiveness;
    I am sin.
    I am loss and still, I win
    I'm obesity, deathly thin.
    Only to be ousted,
    I manage to get in.
    I am your weeping heart when you force your face to grin.
    It is only where I start, that brother you begin.
    I'm with lonely husbands
    and all those crying wives.
    Will shout to end the violence
    but still conceal a knife.
    I am with the poor man
    in his eternal strife.
    I implore you; Introduce yourself!
    I, my friend, am life.

    It's honest and real, though sometimes pessimistic

    Pessimistic? Perhaps you are looking at the glass half empty...for each negative there is a positive...that is life in the rawest form...

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
