24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
I am everything I said I would never be
I am anger
I am pain
I am revenge
I am cold
I am vindictive
I am the new me
No one ever said that would be what happens
Once your world is torn apart and broken
Truths are shattered and lying on the ground
Everything you are becomes everything you were
I am me….
I am not what I write
No, these words do not define my thoughts
These little characters do not define who I am
But I am what I incite
A re-reflection of all I’ve been taught
An inspiration for those that give a damn
I am the owner of nothing
Protector of land and sea
Spinning filagree figments of imagination,
Heyduke ressurected
Head lacking chemicals
Boiling water by buttery moonlight
Grinding coffee in the still night
Like Mikey said, it’s not all good
But it’s good enough to know I am all right
At least well enough to write
Or should I say expunge
This ordeal I am embarking on begins,
An icy plunge into the depths of my subconscious, my unconscious, the infinite beyond…
Aloha from the middle of the pond
Standing outside
Looking in,
Wishing she was there
With him.
Unsure, if she should go alone
She pushes
To let go of her fear,
A false smile
Paints her face
With the lie
Of happiness
A photo
Taken to show she is having fun.
With filters, she erases her discomfort.
Sends it to the world
And him.
He won’t have to worry about her
From the place he sits
Painting his world with normal
For her.
A genuine smile,
His friends,
A place that is chaos
And danger
Cropped to appear normal
To send to her and the world
So, they can live free.
I am, winters sharp tongue, its Icey stare, full of rain.
I am, springs first kiss, its bloom, its heartbeat.
I am, summers smile, lingering on loves lips, the age of consent.
I am ,autumn crinkling beneath your feet, whispering in shadow, memories.
I am, beginning, blood, cells, lightening
I am, ending, earth, decay, hunger.
I am here to watch you struggle with typical things
Like walking, like playing, like talking
I am one that will observe you every day
With a loving stare, never mocking.
I am one of many who will guide you
As you go through your daily way
A friend, an aide, a supporter I am
We’ll climb the mountain together today.
While you battle it out with your body
I am here to help you with your mind
While your thoughts and words are in chaos
I am to help you with words you must find.
You are strong, you are awesome, you rock
To help you see that, you know that I am
Your biggest fan, your place to land
I am the one who will say “You can!”
I am
A speck of dust I am
In this nebulous maze
Searching for infinity
Yet I am within myself
I am in every pervasive dust
Trickling on and off
Settling down often, shaken up sometimes
I am the wind hoofing at
Churning each particle and anti particle
I am the particle and its anti
I remember I am within myself

In serenity I sit
While birds sing their praises to the sky
A light breeze passes, curling my lips into a smile
The sun presses on my tan skin warming my bones
I am Em
Em the Whim
I have fun down at the gym
I play catch with Will & Jim
I am Em
Em the Whim
I run circles wide and slim
Silly circles in bright and dim
I roll and tumble, leap and swim
With Will and Jim and Rick and Tim
I am Em
Em the Whim
I am Em
Em the Whim
I play jokes on Will and Jim
Rick and Tim play jokes on Slim
Slim plays jokes on Kylie Bim
We have fun in bright and dim
I am Em
Em the Whim
I have fun down at the gym
I made friends from dawn to dim
I am the awesome
Em the Whim
I am LOUD
my voice is carried away on the wind,
speaking
of the injustices in the world
crying
for change
I am STRONG
I standfast in my beliefs,
working
to improve me and the world
writing
to share healing with others
I am BEAUTIFUL
not in features but within
my beauty radiates and flows
to and through those around me
enveloping them in its warmth
I am HEALING
triumphing over the past
doing the work to heal past hurts
writing and speaking
life into the dark areas of me
requiring light
I am ME
Beautiful me, nonchalant and funny
empathetic and angry
I am a contradiction AND
the truth
I am unequivocally ME
