I am who I am <br />A heart that sings kind <br />To the poor I contribute <br />Such a rare commodity of an attribute <br /> <br />I am the roadside tram <br />I am the sacrificial lamb <br />I am the fraudulent scam <br />The little boy been pushed in a pram <br /> <br />I am the lover you have always wanted <br />The one in the forest you hunted <br />Yet, you ignored me when I fell into your trap <br />Instead took a nap as I painfully grunted <br /> <br />I am the angel in disguise <br />Playing the harp with retarded fingers <br />If you listen carefully <br />The rythms of the sounds are meant to linger <br /> <br />I am who I am <br />Accept me for what I am <br />I am the one who fell from grace to grass <br />Lying on the ground without any broken bones <br />Thereby I praise myself, for I can still fight on and on <br /> <br />I am the black and beautiful <br />Standing in the middle or side of your room <br />Polished by soft hands ever so often dutifully <br /> <br />Most of all <br />I am the one <br />who loves you like no other <br />I am the one <br />who knows you like no other <br />You treasure you and your freedom <br />And I will tell you no lies <br />For freedom itself, comes with a price <br /> <br />Copyright 2005 - Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-who-i-am-3/
