I AM...WORTHY

I am NOT worthless...for ANY reason.
NONE of us are.
We are HERE.
We MATTER.
We are worthy of love, understanding, compassion, friendship, companionship, and LIFE itself.
...and SO much MORE!
I live and breathe. I AM.
I give.
I fight.
I learn.
I grow.
I hurt.
I cry.
I break.
I build.
I heal.
I find joy.
I try new things.
I hope.
I dream.
I love.
I let go.
I stand,
I fall.
I climb higher.
I see.
I hide.
I rest.
I work.
I share.
I need.
I AM.
ALL.
Most of all I AM worthy of anything and everything I want in this life...
just because...
I AM.

GOD made me so.

I AM...LIFE

(originally posed in 365 Days of the Word)

the breath
of life
flowing through
the blood in my veins
beating in every thump
and bump
of my heart
shining
throughout
every thought
in the mind
and my creative
process
drawn through
every breath
I take
expressed
through the joy
in my laughter
and the sweetness
and light
in my soul
I am LIFE

I AM...HERE

(originally posted in 365 Days of the Word)
HERE
breathing in
deeply
the scents
and aromas
of life
flowers
green growing things
rain showers
the smell
of roast chicken
in the oven
steaming coffee
in my cup
sizzling bacon
in the pan
the smell of lilacs
on the breeze
all these
and many more
tickle my nose
and my soul
I AM...HERE

a fighter

just by looking at the surface
by judging the package I come in
the shape of my body
the colour of my eyes
the length of my hair
I CHOOSE
to see and know
the positive
pieces of me
and to learn
to accept them
and know the TRUTH
of myself
because THEN
I will be able to love YOU
and I AM
LOVE!

I AM...a FOX

(originally posted in August 2012)


I am
a night person
productive and creative
while others sleep

I am
an observer
watching
noticing what is said
and what is NOT

I am
a nurturing
protective
and conscientious
parent

I am
capable
of blending in
and becoming nearly invisible
and unrecognizable

I am
sometimes
surprisingly
the bearer of obscure
and creative solutions

I am
the spirit
of the FOX

I AM SOMETHING

(originally posted in June 2012)


once
a boy who didn't get
what  he wanted
told me
"You think you're something?
YOU are nothing!"
because
I didn't bow down to him
or kneel at his feet
in supplication
or defeat
instead
I stood
for myself
and I am HAPPY
that I did
because the TRUTH
of the matter is this:
I AM SOMETHING
and
I AM SOMEONE
worthy of being treated with
decency
and respect
worthy of being
honoured
and cherished
WORTHY
of whomever and whatever I want
if THEY don't see it
or understand it
is NOT my problem
I AM
SOMETHING
and I will NOT forget

I am

in springtime
and open to action

I am

I AM Reading

(originally posted in April 2012)


once in awhile
I like to
take a break
from the insanity
running inside my head
and I will
spend the day
in bed
reading books
taking breaks
to eat
and you know...
and possibly make myself
a cup of tea
but quickly get back to
the story
that has given me
a short escape
from my own reality
and a peek
into a different world
for awhile

I AM Purple

and in control
of her own happiness

I AM Mojirayo

(originally posted in Jan. 2012)


what is a name
but a reflection
and part of who we are
a name means something
to the namer
and to the named
I am touched
every time
you say Mojirayo
because
it feels like
you see me
and understand
who I am
sometimes
even more
than I do myself
"I awoke to see joy"
is an acknowledgement
of my heart
and soul
mind
and
purpose
for
hoping
living
loving
shining
and even when
I feel sad
the name you have given me
reminds me
to lift myself up
and FIND joy
to wake myself up
and SEE joy
EVERY DAY
to live my life
and BE joy
ALWAYS
thank you

I AM AnamChara

As I learn
I am
the friend of your soul
and my own

As I love
I give
the gift of my deep heart
to you
and I am

I AM LOVE

(originally posted in April 2010)


my heart is a whisper

of love

and a soft glow

from the depths of my soul

I smile and hope the touch of light

will lift your spirit

I hope my embrace of light and love

will speak to you and allow

the wings of your spirit to soar

I am love

I AM STRONG

(originally posted in April 2010)


I have learned something amazing

About myself

You can trip me

You can knock me down

You can twist my mind

You can break my heart

You can even shake my faith

You can cause turmoil and confusion in my life

But you will never break my spirit

You will never keep me down

I will not shatter like broken glass

I will get back up

Reset my mind

Heal my own heart

Find faith again

Believe in myself

Learn and grow and STAND UP

Because I AM STRONG.

What Am I?

(originally posted in Jan.2009)


New
Unblemished
Wide eyed innocence.


I love
I offer my heart
My soul
My All
I am broken.

I choose
A life of pain
A punishment
For believing I am worthy.
I am unloved.

I am
Beaten down
Shattered
Like glass.
I am broken.

I am used.
I am abused.
I cannot find the light
Inside myself
I am lost.

I bring new life
Into the world
Not one
But two
I am responsible.

I must choose
Better
I must choose
Right
I am a mother.

I find
A spark of light
Inside myself
and stand.
I am courageous.

I cry a lot
I doubt myself
I am afraid
and yet I try
I am tenacious.

I find a hope
Inside myself
For something more
A new beginning.
I am healing.

I take a journey
I learn
I grow
I understand
I am a woman.

I lay the past
To rest
and walk toward
A future
I am faith.

I hope and dream
I wait and wait
and want
and I believe
I am ready.

I meet a man
Who fills my soul
My heart
With faith and trust
I am loved.

He retrieves the pieces
of my broken heart
and fits them
back together
I am mended.

A new joy begins
Making family complete
But instead
A loss so deep
I am sorrow.

And once more
Inside myself
No hope no reason
No desire
I am lost.

Somehow again
I face forward
I start anew
I have purpose again
I am mom.

Slowly they begin
To drift into
Lives of independence
and my purpose becomes hazy
I am confused.

Now deeper
Than ever before
I am sinking into
Despair.
I am the deep BLUE funk.


I need something more
I need a purpose
I wallow in
Self-pity
I am aware.

Then by fate
Or destiny
I find another piece of myself
A joy, a shining light
I am awake.

I must find
Another purpose
I must find a new reason
Stay up and stay awake
I am rising.

I hunt
for what I do not know
And then I find
The center of myself.
I am found.

Then I learn
That I am more
Than I ever knew I was
To many and in truth
I am beauty.

In learning Who I am
I have also come to understand
I deserve everything
I am worthy and
I am LOVE.

I need not be ashamed
Of who I am
Or apologize
For what I believe.
I am a queen.
