Poem -

I am...me

"I am" who are you? Challenge

I am...me

Midst reverie, cloistered in thought,
Apathy, unduly refrain.Β 
Twixt chivalry, Verity wrought,
Sparring to ascertain.

I do all I can for the people I love,
I love to make people smile,
It lifts me to no end,
If only for a short while.

Fingernails embedded in my gums,
Incessantly I procrastinate & bow,
Angst, resounding beating of drums,
Core in self worth & row.

My belief is never in question,
I would die without doubt for my children,
I am open to advice and suggestion,
Though self doubt would boil up a cauldron.

Bittersweet variety,
I pray the echo would leave me be,
Sustained in dubiety,
My very own stalker is me!

Incredibly displayed Simon! Your soul I can only surmise carries honour within it, and a light that is triumphant over all the abstract and struggle!

My Dear Friend Simon,

Again, your powerful words enchant me.Β  A must pin!
I feel that I must respond with a Haiku.

I am a father
I love my children dearly
They are who I am
