I am
Chelsea Quigley Nov 2023
I am who I am,
And that is who
I shall be.
Send love to our souls,
And acceptance of our body.

Stop wishing for more
Of what others may hold.
For our body is a temple,
Made from the purest gold.

A human can lie
To the heart and mind.
Sending an image of repulsion
In front of our eyes.

We scoff at the mirror
That holds no truth.
For what you see
Is not the true you.

Hearing words from others
That begins the game.
Our minds so bothered
By ones with no name.

No remembrance of them,
With faces of nothing.
Type faster than lightning
To just hurt something.

And that something,
Is us.
Our vision,
Lost.
For these souls should be pitied,
Bitterly,
With no sympathy.

And how pathetically sad
One must be,
To not find bad
In this treachery.

But our beauty
For one,
Shines brightly in disguise.
But one day,
Our vision will wake
And arise.

We shall look in the mirror,
And see the truth.
It is you,
The true you.
Not somebody new.
For beauty
Can only be envied,
By the artist
With no tools.

I am who I am,
And that is who
I shall be.
For I have no apologies,
As I am truly me.
It's unsteady, you say.
The boat it rocks,
It moves,
And sways.

But its just the waves.

The boat is small,
It feels unsafe.

Stay still, and trust,
It will land you safe.

But the shore is far,
Will the journey end?

Be still, and sit,
And enjoy it instead.

For the bumps and sighs
You face ahead,

Is worth the time
To reach the end.

Morning blessings.
A shiny spark ,
Right from the start.

Your waves they wash
My thoughts of dark.

A stand of silence,
I think of you.
Waking up
At times too soon.

You write your songs
For me to play.
Like bells I hear
On Christmas day.

Early mornings,
A talk at seven.
Words of light
Till almost eleven.

And you ,
Yes you,

Are the air I breathe.
With our bond so tight,

From your soul so deep.
Send this to anyone that gives you the purest form of kindness and a connection you'll always thank them for. <3
