Who I Am


I am not a poet but I write what I feel
deep within me.
I am a guy who has been there, experienced the good and the bad
but I am also a guy who forgives and forgets.

My heart speaks for me, helps me make my decisions.
It is my heart that leads you to your decisions about me.
My heart is a gentle thing for it has been through its share
of heart ache and pain.
But all the aches and pains disappear in time
for it is a lesson I learn from and improve on.

For people who know me, can say if you look inside of him you
see a different side of a man who’s on his way to becoming an even greater gentleman.
Realize that he can and does feel for that special someone,
something different, something special.
He gives all that he can most of the time
hoping and praying for someone to appreciate this side.

As I close my eyes, memories of the past are recalled.
Some good that bring a smile to my face
but, a lot of bad that make me shed my tears of pain, anger, and shame.
Who am I... someone who's determined not to give up on life and any obstacles
Life gives me. You know, dreams do come true.
It all depends on who they happen to.
