I Am

I am the hardened soul, ready and willing to fight,

I am the moon, starring back at you, late at night.

I am the ox, both stubborn and strong,

I am the bard, playing music, singing MY song.

I am the words written on the page, so lightly so,

I am the winter's breath, that chill in the snow.

I am whatmade me to be,

I am who I am......I am me.

I wrote that poem when I was in the eigth grade. I look back on it, and wonder if I am still that innocent kid, chubby cheeked and seemingly ready for the world. By reading these poems, I welcome you, the reader, to the wonderfully dark, world of me.
