Just Me

[agburns84]

Just Me

 

I am content,

I am just me,

My humble reflection,

May not be the mark of perfection,

But in that mirror hanging on the wall,

I see a person still standing tall.

 

I am happy,

I am just me,

I'm surely not that quaint,

And certainly no saint,

Yet still a person with a soul,

Slowly but surely striving towards my goal.

 

I am the forest,

I am the dim light,

That the misty sky sends through the trees,

Surrounded by the presence of the ocean breeze,

Yet unrelenting I withstand its whisper and its gaze,

A symbol of shelter that remains unphased.

 

I am the mountain,

I am the summit,

Looking down I see the inhabitants of a fast moving land,

Of which only the good I allow to stand,

To scale the height of my precipice and see,

How long it takes to truly know me.

 

I am a castle,

A fortress of might,

The strength of a sturdy heart standing guard,

Shielding me from the facade,

Of those beyond the gates who seek to harm,

Always alert but never alarmed.

 

I am the sky,

I am the birds that take flight,

With watchful eyes secure and steady,

Ever resilient and ever ready,

But above all I'm just me,

The forest, the mountain and the sea.
