wish i wasnt me

and i am me
but who am i really?
a child raped of innocence
refused to lay in shadows
of other ones sins.

and i am me
but who am i really?
im the one that carried you all
dispite the weight
i never let you fall.

and i am me
but who am i really?
im the one that said your not alone
i opened my doors, shelterd you a home.

i am the one
everyones tower of strenght
everyones and anyones
but myself.

but who am i really
i am no one but just i
the weight has burden my little shoulders
yet i cant and won't cry....

BECAUSE ITS ME & thats me.

Deeply moving itch.' A world of pain. Little shoulders shouldn't bear such weight.

This poem feels like to me that you are very strong and have been hurt. Still you go on. That is something to be proud of. Always a survivor not a victim is what I say. Thanks for sharing.

itchy...heart felt... I too identify strongly with this write ...You are strong and resiliant thats why people turn to you and you carry them..
but your also only human you have feelings & needs yet!
the "I" feels sometimes a non person And yes! its our own fault I guess - for our own strength can be our worst enemy at times. WE..ourselves make us invisible to others ..
At times we must still be the oak but also the weeping willow who cries - its human to -cry!

the weight has burden my little shoulders
yet i cant and won't cry....
BECAUSE ITS ME & thats me.

We are many things to many people. But we can't be all things to all people. One of life's hardest lessons. This poem touches me, for one of my recent lessons was that I am no longer anyone's door mat. I understand this poem so deeply and it made me smile to see my own growth of late. Thank your for sharing and have a wonderful New Year!~ Celtic

Blessed Be!~

yes, a very moving poem Itchy, great depth, and i can relate to the area surrounding wishing i wasnt me also, for by being me, i have created great loss and unhappiness in my personal life. and if ad been diffrent, it wudnt of happened... so,, yeah,,hummmm, if feel the beurden of my own weight to carry about also, which is so great, it makes us strong, which only serves to make us keep going, which feels like a punishment to endure

Hi, itchywitch,
Although there is much pain expressed in wish i wasnt me, much love and strength exists in a person that can say, im the one that carried you all dispite the weight i never let you fall. When that same strength and love is also directed at one's self, the circle of caring is complete. Thanks for sharing.
