Who am I

Who am I
By: Adam M. Snow

Alone, wandering down a dreary road,
With no dreams for I to call my own,
Who suffer with what I bestowed,
But I, a single soul alone.
Seeking the truth of a past long forgotten,
A truth broken for many years,
Now my essence soon to rotten,
And I surrounded by my many fears.

The same question runs through my mind,
Do I now dare to ask?
My true love I left behind,
And I cower behind my mask,
Watching her face as time takes her away,
I'm afraid, I bowed my head in shame,
With emptiness in my heart, growing night and day,
I seek to find her longing name.
Now I cover the truth with lies,
As I await for my day to die.
Will I remember myself and rise?
Still I'm stuck with the question, "Who am I?"

Another strong piece of soul searching. I think my favourite line is 'Will I remember myself and rise?' It's beautifully simple in structure yet loaded with meaning. :)

A lot of your poems seem to be in this vein. I really hope you find your way back to wholeness soon.

I love your word choice...there is an almost desperateness to it...very well done

Vulnerability makes your words here so powerful. The flow and rhythm is graceful in this piece and your words are precise. Write on!
