Who I Am
By Clyde E. Gumbs

 

For so, so very long it’s true

I’ve not been who I am

I have been a pure pretender

An impostor and a sham

 

I’ve been the one I had to be

At least that’s what I’ve said

I’ve said I wanted a glorious life

But really I’ve been dead

 

The me that I was born to be

Was buried oh so deep

Trapped by others petty judgments

Under a mountain oh so steep

 

The me that I was born to be

Trapped in a hardened shell

The prison of protection

A self imposed encumbered hell

 

But as a new day is dawning

As the darkness fades away

It is time now to awaken

Enlightenment for me today

 

In the clarity of brilliant light

The dread illusion can’t endure

When I look into the mirror I see

I imprison me and nothing more

 

I was born with the spirit of the child

To search for truth and seek to grow

For me life is a bold adventure

Love and play I’m born to know

 

I was born with the soul of the priestess high

With clarity, peace and vision true

I am aligned with all divinity

Living true to higher self I’m born to do

 

I was born with the mind of the advocate

Sharp, bold, quick, sure and clear

I am the champion of those I stand for

On their behalf I have no fear

 

I was born with the body of the goddess

A perfect temple for life to dwell

The beauty of life revealed in me

Witness her is what they tell

 

I was born with the heart of the healer

I nurture all that is my deed

Boundless love and pure compassion

I give to all in time of need

 

I am unleashed, I am inspired

That is what I am born to be

I am exactly who I am

And there is nothing else to see
