I am who I am

I am who I am
a Libertine at times,
trapped within my own sins.

I am who I am,
a weirdo, my vision of
the world is fanatical at times.

I am who I am,
a broken saint, my heart
knows hate but for myself.

I am who I am,
the disturbed prodigy, the mad genius
who may be an idiot.

I am who I am,
a silver-tongued devil,
words are the only tools I need.

I am who I am
I can’t be no more,
then I am meant to be.  

Author notes

this isn't everything i am just a few thing i thought i would share. I have been told by a lot of people i am a pervert, a freak, a person who doesn't really fit in anywhere. A angel, a nice guy, a gentlemen, a guy who isn't like others. Good or bad, i don't know i am just me, that is all i thought i was. My dark side and my Light side all make up who i am and i like it that way, so to all you freaks and weirdos, Norms and pretties, take my advice and just do you, who cares what everyone else thinks, keep it flowing

enjoy

    individuality
    I like that, we are all somewhat the same, but the bit of uniqueness makes us much more colorful 
    I am who I am
    we all want to know who we are, we are propelled to do so
    I like this because of the bit of uniqueness 

    great write my friend

    God bless you...

    Good piece, I like the steady beat and the flow of the words. I perticually enjoyed the line

    'I am who I am'

    Being repeated, it gave the piece structure, and an overall feel good atmosphere to the whole poem, you know your showing your good points and your bad point, but your saying that does not matter, because that is you.

    This is true however you can refine yourself
    I have been a well accentuated ass most my life
    vying for the title of a perfect ass

    Excellent stream of thought

    Very nicely done..I am assuming it is about yourself... (The name was a dead giveaway )

    I loved the vocabulary used in this too...very well articulated

    i hear music and rhythm when i read your work. (are you a musician?) this is a great piece.

    also i liked what you said in your author's notes. complexities are what interest me about people. i've never considered the idea of being typical as a positive thing to strive for. keep it real. be yourself - you are just right the way you are.

    I love the author note even more than the poem. We are all good and bad, sometimes one just overpoers the other and we are crucified or set on a stool for it. everything is just a game, to be judged, to react. a game we play and let others play us. the only way you win is to quit because you are only causing you own destruction, and spreading the judgemental hate that has currupted our lives.

    I love the way that your author notes tell people that all that they can be is themselves... we all have a dark and light side and if we were more accepting of ourselves then we would acknowledge that everyone can expect to be taken for themselves... awesome writing from your pen
    cheers

    You just do you and Imma do me...

    Well I for one am glad that you are all of those things. People's sins and quirks are the only thing that makes most people interesting. I look forward to reading more of your work. Well done.

    Well said, if they don't like it be sure the door thumps them on the way out! I'm not normally a fan of refrains, but here it has worked very well, really drives home the point, we are who we are...no more no less. The 4th verse made me smile, nicely done! Same with the 5th verse, words are the greats tools we have and so many miss out on that fact. A stunning write, deep and thought provoking...for me anyway, well done hunni
