I am...

A catchy little poem I thought up one day. It's about self identity in the world, and it applies to all... me, and you too. Originally posted on FictionPress, it has undergone a few changes

I am what I am

I do what I am

I want what I am

Because I am

Do you want to know who I am?

Look in yourself

See your soul wriggling in your pits

I am the new cult of personality

 

I am...

I am a symbol of ecstatic... sentimentation

The reality ripped off and abused by every rebellious sensation

I am the newest chapter in a book called Revelation

One who resists the eroding calls of temptation

I am one who quivers in the ire of adulation

I am one who knows God is our own creation

And that God is our beloved creator moralization

I am but one of a new generation

A generation that like all others suffers some kind of damnation

I am a creation of the desire of the truly free nation

A result of years of provocation

Industrialization

Procrastination

Alienation

And the coming of the worst of indignations

I have for myself my own destination

Where I will open a Pandora's Box of realization

 

Won't you accompany through my Odyssey of individuation

As I make my final independence declaration?

 

 

 

Author's Note

Lots of "-ation", I know. I guess you could call it a gimmick. Like it or not, please do tell!

I really liked it! The "-ation"s gave it a unique ring to it, but you could have varied your word endings. I especially liked the part, "A result of... Alienation." I tried to write a poem like this once, but it wasn't very good. Thank you for sharing!
