I AM!

Sometime when we think God didn’t answer our prayers, we just didn't realize he did by giving us the strength to do it ourselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I AM!

Truly, I am,

 

a woman that has been beat down,

crawling on hands and knees.

Begging for God to make it stop,

He answered none of these.

Who will be the one to end this,

to make this nightmare cease?

 

I AM!

Truly, I am,

 

a woman that has fought to leave,

to build a better life.

Homeless, shelters and hungry kids,

strangers craving such strife.

Who will help me find us a home,

someone more than a wife?

 

I AM!

Truly, I am,

 

a mother alone full of fear,

searching for a new way.

My children so dear and trusting,

unsure of what to say.

Who will make this all turn around,

to make blue skies from grey?

 

I AM!

Truly, I am,

 

the one to reach deep down inside,

Move forward and not stray.

A woman with my head held high,

No longer scared to say,

Who is worth everything I did?

Who found a brand new way?

 

I AM!

I AM!

I AM!

Author's Note

I was told a short while ago, to put a little of my past in verse. I waited until I thought I could do it some justice. I am not one to talk of negative...yet it takes the negative and the positive to make a charge. Hope you find my understanding in, this little piece of me.

I love this poem it is very inspirational! Being a strong woman who is independent and doesn't need a man to help her, she is able to pull through on her own. I admire that strength in a woman. I have a friend who would relate well to this poem and I admire her strength and endurance through the strife of her life. I will have to share this with her!

Thank you ,though I must admit that I am a strong woman and I don't need a man...but, the one I am with I wouldn't want to be without.

Wonderful poem, more than the poem, I appreciate the idea that grew in your mind towards this sensitive and so important yet ignored side of the world. This is an issue of every society, every 1 out of 2 houses are keeping innocent souls, injured. A women is a beautiful creature of God, a master piece in every sense. A man can be physically strong but its women who is emotionally strong, and this is what matter most. A women can live alone if she wants to but a man can't, he'll get lost in one way or another way. A women deserve every kinda respect, love, support, courage. A very thoughtful and open poem, I like it very much. Keep writing and keep sharing.

that was a nice poem .. well done :D

[Pencrafter]

You poem conveys beautiful emotion, displaying determination to change your life and accept responsibility for the welfare and happiness of you and your family. I find it a little sad that you feel abandoned by God. We do need the guidance of our Creator, as expressed in the Bible. We don't need organized religion to interfere with our lives. I hope you find true happiness.

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

I have found true happiness as I express it always in my poetry;) It was with me all the time inside...I just gave it life! Thank you for you review...you have a very open mind, I like that

Heck ya Maya Angelo is amazing! Glad you got out of that darkness

[Im His Daughter]

he did make it stop, he gave you the courage as he did to me to leave.. Never underestimate the power of God... Miracles happen everyday.

Some of God's greatest gifts are the times he doesn't answer our prayers...but leads us to find strength in answering it ourselves.

Thank you!

Beautiful poem. I love it when someone writes a little about there personal life, it makes me feel like I can connect with them. You repeatedly shouted the words "I AM" in this piece and thats what made it so so powerful. I have not been a battered wife but when I was younger I was physically abused... and now I feel like I'm mentally abused but I felt like I was able to relate to you a little bit. I truly enjoyed the read, great job!

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

Mental, physical, emotional, sexual and spiritual abuses are all the same. They each drain you of you! We are amazingly made, yet delicately so. I will always treat myself as such as well as only allow those that do the same into my life. I am so glad you enjoyed the poem.
