I AM: A Slam Poem
March 7, 2018
I am tired. I am in pain. I have nothing to gain. My life is going nowhere.
I hear these lies from the time I wake to the time I lay down. Every waking moment is like I’m going to insanity.
I want to go back to my fantasy. But I let go of it.
So I look up to heaven and cry out, “God if you really care, why do I hear these so-called lies? Can you just hold me? Please, I can’t do it anymore.”
As the tears slowly stop streaming, I hear a voice singing. And I soon start singing.
I am enough. I am a pearl. A ruby. A diamond. A rose among thorns. I am a princess.
I AM ENOUGH!!
