Here I am <br />This is all I will ever be <br /> <br />No more of the frightened one <br />No more of the hidden one <br />No more pain inside of me caused by your ignorance <br />No more of the cage you’ve imprisoned me in <br /> <br />Let me fly among the stars <br />Let me dance through flowers newly born <br />Make me feel the sun shine on my shoulders <br />For never have I felt freedom like this before <br /> <br />Here I am <br />No more questioning myself <br /> <br />Filled by the words you made me write <br />Finally I can let them slide through my hands <br />Giving birth to a new horizon <br />Leading me to where I should be <br /> <br />To where I can come down <br />Where there are no more faked dreams <br />Nor untruthful promises to be my security <br />Where the simple joy brightens with serenity <br /> <br />Here I am <br />Finally what I am is true <br /> <br />Born out of the ashes of my former existence <br />I rose to be free and within the fire in my soul <br />I am burning for this life I have chosen <br />To be free of the spell you put me under <br /> <br />If these words seem hurting to you, I guess that’s what they are <br />Don’t feel upset about them <br />Because then you still don’t understand that everything I am <br />Today was born out of all those things you’ve done <br /> <br />Here I am <br />Still not blaming you for what you are <br />Still loving you for what you’ve done<br /><br />Martine Kolber<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/here-i-am-10/
