I Am Me

I Am Me

I have walked through life

with many faces faceted...

to many masks to account...

some have been strong...

resilient and endearing...

some have been victims....

weak and afraid..

some have been beseeching,

with seduction's siren call,

while others have been nurturing,

full of love and tender compassion.

With many faces

have come many names...

titles by which I have gone...

Empath...Shaman...

Mother...Daughter...

Victim...Hero...

Aggressor....Healer...

Manipulator...Truth sayer...

Seductress...Nun...

Friend...Enemy...

but none of these alone

fits me to perfection..

none of these speaks

to who I am in totality.

They are merely names

to fit the faces faceted...

titles to fit the masks...

I am more than the

sum of my parts,

I am nothing and everything

combined..

I am me...

and that IS enough,

to stand proud about

in the face of a world

which labels a person

in singular terms.

I cry...

I smile...

I laugh..

I hurt...

I get angry...

I get sad..

I get frustrated..

I am me..

whatever that may be

in any given moment. ^_^
