I am She

Here is a poem that I wrote for my literature class today. Enjoy! And feedback is always welcomed and appreciated.

I am She

I am she

The woman in the mask

The woman I didn’t want to be

I am she

The hypocrite woman

Never kneeling on bended knees

I am she

The woman who hides

Where no one can see

I am she

The unfaithful woman

How can you still love me?

I am she

The redeemed woman

Finally free

Dear 76 Readers... Got a Question? Any question?

Hello dear readers!

Today I am supposed to be doing nothing but homework (World Civ and Intro to Lit) but I decided to take a little break from that so that I can write to you.

Did you know that you're over SEVENTY readers now? I was reading some of my previous blog postings this morning, specifically THIS ONE and suddenly realized that you all have put up with a lot of craziness from me in the past.

I admit it. I am a little crazy.

But nevertheless, the number of readers has grown... so there must be something you're enjoying... right?

Hopefully.

That's my friend Jaci and I at an 80's Bowling Night last semester!

Uh... random.


*crickets*

Okaaaaaay. Now, back to the MAIN point of this post:

I recently thought of this idea... and if you don't like it, no biggie. But I thought I'd try it out.

From now until the end of the summer, I want to give you all the opportunity to ask me any question you can think of: whether it be about God, theology, relationships, purity, food, sibling drama, health, nutrition, dating, exercise, politics... ANYTHING.

?

You can leave your name, but if you want to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Just place a comment at the end of this post and check "anonymous". I will be randomly selecting questions to answer in "Dear Em" blog posts during the rest of the summer.

Now, let's get one thing straight: I'm not GOD.

Therefore, my answers will not be 100% right or perfect.

However, I do promise to use the knowledge that I have as well as my own experiences to give you the best possible answer I can from my perspective. If I don't know the answer... I'll try to find it... or find someone who does. Or... if you're just wanting to know what my personal opinion is on a subject, that's fine too. Ask away!

Questions can be silly or stupid or serious or slightly sinister. But I'm not kidding when I say that anything goes. I cannot promise to answer every question that I receive. But I CAN promise that I care about all 76 of you and will do my very best.

"Sisters" - A poem

Sisters

I am the envy of every woman

The lust of every man

If you possess me

You may lack humility

In youth, I am abundant

But I slowly fade with time

Everyone covets me

The world bows down to me

I wield power over the weak minded

Strength over the purest man

I am strong

But not as strong as my sister

She does not fade with time.

She is rare.

The world doesn’t know her.

She is not sought after by many.

No one can destroy her

But I am destructible.

She only enhances me.

In fact, I am nothing without her.

She is the one who gives substance

To my shallow fleeting existence

I can be improved with cash and possessions

But no amount great or small can buy my sister.

She is unfading.

I am fleeting.

Unequal we are.

Yet sisters

I live in high-society

Make my home in Hollywood

But my sister can be found elsewhere

In the lowliest places on earth

She dwells with kindness and compassion

And makes her home with humility and forgiveness

We are opposites

Sometimes seen together

I am rare – she is rarer

We are sisters:

Inward and Outward Beauty

It's been awhile since I've written a poem... I would LOVE your feedback: good, bad, ugly, or that you didn't understand it one bit! :) I don't usually do free verse, but I couldn't seem to rhyme methodically with this one...

Thanks for reading!
