    Poem Commentary

    This was actually a writing project in a program called Inside Out. The all around growth I experienced in the few years with Inside Out is indescribable. We was asked to use as many one word sentences as we want to describe ourselves. So the words I underlined in this poem was the only ink on the original paper. Then we was asked to put each word into a full sentence to expand the meaning. And this is how one of my favorite self-describing poems was born. I hope it provokes you to create a self-describing poem as well. "Who Are You?"

    Who Are You?
                                          "WHO AM I?" 

    By studing Buddhism I've learned how to walk away from a confrontation without backing down.
    I keep you closer than a friend. No matter how immature it may seem to entertain you - It is Fun being your Enemy.
    I am the Artist that will paint you with affection.
    I am the Yin-Yang Angel that guards sanity with acceptance.
    I am a Long Walk, a Fast Jog, and a Light Run.
    As a Christian I've learned how to love unconditionally your Body~Mind~and Spirit, as well as see the beauty within beyond the flaws.
    Whatever races through my Mind, my Spirit will chase around, and when it is found ~ my Body will write it down. I am the Poetess.
    I am Trust manifested in the flesh.
    I am the Saint that can protect you through spiritual dimensions.
    As a humble woman and proud warrior, I am the Image of our female ancestors.
    I am the Abuser that has been abused but I no longer condone abuse whether it is given or taken.
    I am the greatest Fantasy. But to who? You or Myself ?
    I am the Dance that you are afraid to step to.
    You like me so much you play me over and over again until you run me down or I run out. I am the Music of your cold selfish heart.
    I Am What I Say I Am!
    Who Are You?

    Thank you for you support. My first time here. I should have several more posted in a few days or less. You was very gracious with you rating. Once again, "Thank You". Not to drag it out but the project was a lesson to learn who you was and have the honesty to write it down to build up self esteem. Sometimes people put you in the catagory they feel you fit best in but sometimes you are more than what they perceive and it's hard to get them to acknowledge who you are or who you have grown to become. Especially when they have not figured themselves out yet and instead of grow in knowledge with you they would rather keep you down to where they are stuck at. It was most definitely a personal and social challenge.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
