When I Think Of Who I Am Poem by Falana Zion

When I think of who I am
Millions of expressions trigger my mind
Tears of joy at a side
Tonnes of hurt at the other hand

When I think about myself
I see a boy lost in darkness
Beautifully painted with the stars
With the hope that he'd shine

When I think of who I am
I cry, I laugh and dance
For where I am is a bittie of love
And a mean of hurt

I wish grace is not far from my sight,
my gaze shines and never turns black
For the man within my heart,
Is controlled by the wind called life

When I think of who I am
I close my eyes and cry out loud
Wind of burdens and flaws
Fill up my lonely world

When I think of who I am
I see life and check where I am
To seek the wit of my psyche
Maybe I'm still on the right path

When I think about myself
I picture my world and my strength
The hurt, the love and the stress
But at the end, I see beyond life
To behold a flesh giving up to death
