I Am Me

A Poem by Melissa Kester

A poem to introduce myself

I am...

in love with the moon

inspired by the stars

involved with the oceans

engaged in the hearts

I am...

the girl of his dreams

the mother of a child

a soul of calm fortune

but inside I'm wild

I will...

see all I can

endure what I must

survive the hardest nights

savor the lust

I will...

live each day

sleep each night

win what I can

but not every fight

I can...

climb every mountain

swim every sea

explore every acre

save every tree

I can...

do anything I want

if only I try

even if my dream

is simply to fly

What an announcement of who you are shaped in such a shell. The standing belief of that which you can do leaps from your page. I enjoyed this work.

Well done. This is very well written with a lovely flow. I particularly like the first stanza. A very nice introduction.

What a way to introduce yourself! It's strong, well-written- love how the stanzas are structured! Even the musicality is spot on (except in the last stanza: "anything" makes the line too long for the musicality to carry over. "What" would be better).

My only major critique is "but not every fight". Doesn't seem to fit the mood or the theme of the poem especially since in the following stanza you say "save every tree".....is that not a fight in itself? The whole poem paints a bold picture with an air of inner strength and valour, but then this line comes, and it just does't seem to fit that picture. Unless your intention was to say that you're wise enough to pick your fights carefully or whatnot, in which case it's the wording that's a little weird, for it doesn't quite say that.

On the whole, this is a good strong poem. Well done!
