    Poem Commentary

    One of my nicknames is "LI" and I use it as a signature for my poetry.

    Suffering with depression I have doubts about myself and who I am.  I created this poem as inspiration.  It's okay to look at myself in the mirror and not be discourage because my creator is why I exist and if I exist then I must FIND PURPOSE.

    It's okay if you don't love me but it is not okay to not love yourself.
    Take out the LI and read it again.

    IT JUST ME

    Look at me, Li

     

    Basing in my uniqueness

     

    Strutting a smile of gratification and delight

     

    because I am splendor

     

    Created in God’s image of distinctness

     

    I breathe in life's reality

     

    Convinced that what is, is meant to be

     

    what was is past

     

    I control nothing but my own being

     

    and it's my reaction that can bring devastation to my tomorrows

     

     

    Love Li

     

    I am the explanation of my existence

     

    I bare no shame

     

    For it’s me in the reflection

     

    I cannot hide

     

    My deceit will be revealed

     

    So I confess and move on

     

    head held high

     

    sure of my direction

     

    I live serenely

     

     

    My past is my testimony for the future

     

    My wisdom is the guidelines

     

    towards correcting my imperfections

     

    I have purpose

     

     

    Love Li as you see me

     

    My beauty

    My skin

    My eyes

     

    I am content

     

    I am original

     

    So look at me and look at yourself

     

    Although change can be unattainable

     

    Change in me is profitable

     

    LOVE YOU because I LOVE LI

    This is beautiful, I wish I could say I am content with my image. I have goals and they keep me going it seems. But really all of it is vanity.

    Nothing that you have in life that makes you content will be in vain. You have to be content with yourself or you will reveal to everyone your discontentment. God has made us in all our individuality and there is no perfect model. I am work in progress. Thank you for your comment and Happy Holiday.

    excellent verse. the good thing about a mirror is that it is only a reflection of you; inasmuch, you can always walk away, and change your reflection as you seek to change your mind, heart, and life. i felt assurance, confidence, and self esteem in your words; but i also heard another person deep from within... trying to escape. i love your work; very potent, somewhat arrogant, yet soothing, refreshing and mostly... your work delivers a subtle message to its readers. continue your journey..... thejazzpoet

    ARROGANT? Please explain. Is this for this one poem or in general.

    Yes, there were two sides of me battling, the side that believed what people said and absorbed it and the one that heard what the people said and ignored it. It has taken me too much time to choose a side but now the people listen to me. I had to learn who I am before I could be who I am. I know I have no control over anything except me and so I stay in control. My journey started so long ago, if only I knew I was traveling.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

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