I Am

by emma.mehegan

Who am I? I am a roiling boiling ocean Of magma Lying just beneath the surface Of an active volcano. I am emotions: Good feelings Relief, caring, compassion, Joy Bad feelings Sadness, hurt, hatred, Anger. I am feelings Caused by poisoned words, And feelings Caused by words spoken in love. I am not Who I see in the mirror, I am not An opposed reflection, I am what you see Through the panes in my eyes When the curtains are open. I am My heart, I am My mind; My appearance is an afterthought.

<p><span style="font-size:16px;">This is a great poem, <strong>I love how</strong> you used metaphors to get your message across. It's feelings and ideas- poetry like this- that really show how <strong>beautiful you are</strong></span></p>
