This Is What I Am

by Michael Charles Messineo — Read all 96 poems by Michael Charles Messineo

This is a one minute reflection of what and who I am.

Wednesday, February 4, 2004


I am refreshed
by the sleep that calls me nightly

I am hungry
by the needs of the engine that is me

I am inquisitive
by the creative test of life that demands to be answered

I am delighted
by the minute idiosyncrasies that humans have invented

I am flustered
by societies poor choice of priorities and stupidity that exists

I am honored
by the feedback of every person whether good or bad

I am ecstatic
by realizing I am living my goals and achieving them

I am exhausted
by the lack of logic that allows the media to dwell on the negatives

I am free
by the choice that is mine to push aside those things that hold others back

I am me
by the roads I have chosen to be my map of life.

I am. Yes I am.

I am me
by the roads I have chosen to be my map of life.
How true, how real, how sad, how soulful. How me!
