i am

i am…

I am a flower quickly fading

            Here today

                        Gone tomorrow

            I am a stranger in my own mind

                                    Unaware

                                                Lost

I am an empty box

            Full of emotion

                        But no one sees…

I am an outsider

            Alone in a crowded room

                        Searching for compassion

I am trapped

            Overwhelmed

                        Longing for release

            I am an old satin blanket

                        Smooth and soft

                                    Ragged and scarred

I am rage

            Built up

                        Ready to implode

I am a child

            Terrified

                        Needing warmth and tenderness

I am HIS.

                        I am Amazing Love

                                                                        I have purpose.
