Have You Seen Me Lately?

Empty dreams fill a sleepless night
I would fear the dark but I have lost my fright

It’s lost forever and I must face it
But I can’t find my bravery, I must have misplaced it

I’ll use some effort to search until it’s found
But I haven’t seen my effort for a long time now

My pride will make it through all of the chaos
But is seems that pride has already betrayed us

This would make me so mad and forbidden
But my anger is gone and very well hidden

I’d miss my anger if I had my despair
But my sadness has just run off somewhere

I would feel the pain of this contraption
But it seems my misery is missing in action

I’d let my heart heal like it does
I’d use my love if I knew where it was

I know who I am, and yes I ‘m sure
It’s just been awhile since I’ve seen her

Life Is Just A Game

I am the eyes that pierce through the night

I am the wolf that always listens

I am the speed of an ox with no place to strike

I am the moonlight sun that always glistens

I am the one to be there

I am the one to go nowhere

I am the tornado of many disasters

I have fought many masters

I have created a world in many ways

I have a way that won't stop in days

I have many reasons to stay away

And how can I do that when my life is just a game to play?

I Am Poem

I am the fury of a thousand lightning bolts; I am the destruction of a hurricane's brut force winds.
I am the passion of an Olympic torch carrier on top of the world.
I am the cunning claws of a leopard, sharp, and swift, like a Samurai's steel blade bursting through soft flesh.
I am the worth of a million stacks of 20-pound gold bricks, yet I am as priceless as a stone from the bottom of the deep, dark, unforgiving Bering Sea.
I am not like a fire jumping randomly from house to house, a scared fleeing mouse, but more like the spinning vortex of a twisted, relentless tornado coming directly for every house.

I am the alpha and the omega; I am the good and the bad.
Am I the warmth of your bed at first light, or the vicious werewolf that was in your dreams last night?
Some say that it is me to blame for all their fears and frights. But really there is no shame in my ghostly name or who I really am, it's me the reaper, the real death bringer, the vicious soul stealer, the one who brings doom into sight!

By Zak A.

I am…

I am the burning passionate flames of the explosion,
And the gentle light of a scented candle.

I am the title wave that erodes the shore,
And the trickle from the faucet in the kitchen.

I am the forceful winds of a hurricane,
And the soft breeze on a summer day.

I am the darkness of the deepest abyss,
And the reflection of the moon on the surface.

I am Extreme,
But I am not.

Inspiration

I am inspiration coming out of nowhere
I am not bad thoughts beating down on you

I am water a comforting drink to a weary traveler
I am not a raging river suffocating cold

I am earth a place to rest your head
I am that feeling in your stomach as you creep up a roller coaster

I am me

By Brock B.

I Am

I am the lion ready to pounce on the rabbit.

I am the black smoke from a raging fire.

I am the bright white reflection of the moon in water.

I am the prince of England that is unknown by his people.

I am the strong tree that dies without water.

I am the blood of a unicorn, evil but satisfying,

I am the love letter that cheers you up when you are sad.

I am the sweet red roses that your secret admirer gives you.

I am the sweet first touch of that first slow romantic kiss.

I am the end of a long book that you just can’t stop thinking about.

I am that bald eagle high in the sky watching over you making sure that nothing goes wrong in life.

The Puzzle That Is Me

I am the cool, dominant waves flowing with the gentle, chilling breeze.

I am the action-packed mystery novel with the compelling inconspicuous ending.

I am the warm-hearted embrace of a dearly missed family member.

I am the meaningful lyrics in the deep, longing love song.

I am the shining lonely moon, never completely sure when I’ll be whole again.

All these bits and pieces put together

The puzzle that is

Me.
