Who I am Now

Who I am Now
There is something deep within me,
that has kept me strong enough,
to keep me from toppling,
over the edge of sanity.
Over the ledge of frustration,
over the ledge of reasoning.
It leads me everywhere I go,
when I may otherwise break,
when I may otherwise stray away.
There is something in my make-up,
or just the way I innately know to look up,
that straightens my back,
and cues me to bow my head.
It becomes the focus of my meditation,
it is the reason for my transformation,
it is the source of much of my information.
That inner light inside of me,
even when darkness covers all.
It wells up like ocean waves,
come to drown those who,
think they have the strength to push me back,
Hold me down or steal my joy.
I have a spiritual strength that,
grows deeper and speaks louder,
as I get to know more about who I am now.
