An Ode to Me

poem by: Godfrey Georges
Written on May 20, 2017

I'm tired of fixing me,
I'm tired of changing me,
To comply to standards,
Of looking at me faults,
Of finding my own way
and of loving others,
of being alone in a world
that a me can hide and be hidden.
That me can be lost and forgotten
like chaff blown in the wind.

When is it time to be me?
When is it all right to be me?
When can me finally breathe,
And live?

Today...I'm giving Me a chance
to love, to cherish, to obey...me.

Just me. Only me.

Because me and only me
deserve to be loved;
For me and only me
to learn that there is peace;
And that me, only me
can live a life of me;
A me free, me hopes, me dreams.

Me...Yes.

Me!!!

The Immortal, the Eternal
The Only, the Forever,

Me.  Imagine it...

Driving down the avenue, another typical night, Of peoples hustle, cars darting, and slow turning traffic lights. Down the corner of Bergen, was a burgeoning crowd, And despite all around them, they braved a black veiled shroud. ... Read more
