I Am Enough
So Personal Impression
Well, It’s nothing more a cliche. We are different. We have abilities, in spite of our skins, cultures, tongues and origins. So what? The racism is stronger than all these solid words. Racism has deaf ears. The poem hasn’t any inspirational perspectives. Even the picturing was not that much inspirational or effective. I’m putting it right here:
***
Like the sun, I’m here to shine
Like the voice, I’m here to sing
Like the bird, i’m here to fly
and soar high over everything
Like the trees, I’m here to grow
Like the mountains, here to stand
Like time, I’m here to be
and be everything I can
Like the champ, I’m here to fight
Like the heart, I’m here to love
Like a ladder, here to climb
and like the air, to rise above
Like the wind, I’m here to push
Like a rope, I’m here to pull
Like the rain, I’m here to pour
and drip and fall until I’m full
Like the moon, I’m here to dream
Like the student, here to learn
Like the water, here to swell
Like the fire, here to burn
Like the winner, I’m here to win
and if I don’t, get up again.
I know that I may sometimes cry,
but even then, I’m here to try
I’m not meant to be like you
you’re not meant to be like me
Sometimes we will get along
and sometimes we will disagree
I know that we don’t look the same
our skin, our eyes, our hair, our frame
But that does not dictate our worth
we both have places on earth
And in the end, we are right here
to live a life of love, not fear…
To help each other when it’s tough
to say together:
I am enough
