Wonderful
By jajang829
Who I am
Is not
Who I was.
But if
Those words are true
How can
It also be true
That who I was
Made me
Who
I am?
And who
Am I really?
Am I not truly
A product
of my past?
Whose mistakes
have shaped me?
Why mine
of
course.
And if you think
I am so wonderful.
The I
That
was molded
By those mistakes
Must wonder how
Such horrible
mistakes
Can produce
Wonderful.
For surely
The acids
and filth
I bathed myself in
Have created
Scars.
Can
true beauty
Be found
Beyond
My self mutilation?
In
reality
I know the answer
To these questions.
But
Do
you?
Of course you do.
For you are
Wonderful.

Author's Note:
This was kind of a free write poem, but the personal level at which this poem touches me goes much deeper than the words can convey. If I reach even a fraction of that with you, I will be content.Awards

Awe. Just pure awe. I loved every word. For who am I really? How do I view myself? Hmmm thoughts to ponder. "For you are Wonderful." That made me smile so big. I wasn't expecting that. But that was truly a perfect ending to a wonderful piece :) Thanks for the write Jajang!

I enjoyed this write. It has great questions asked. There's a reason we should pay attention to the past. It's so we learn from it and don't repeat it.
