Litha Sonner Who I Am I am a woman And proud to be I have inner strength And beauty for all to see I am loving And I am kind I am sweet But not all the time I am a friend I am a lover I am a daughter I am a mother Others may not always Like what they see But I want you to know That I am proud to be me Written By: ? TitaScorpio Scorpion Sun Born in a Caribbean Island under the Scorpion sun, Puerto Rico was my birth place, But New York City is my home. First in the family to graduate college, though last to go out on my own; Ten siblings share my bloodline- But I am the youngest one. I am 'Auntie' to three generations, a grandmother who dotes and hugs, Godmother to twelve dear charges But mother to only one. Writer, poet and artist, Dreamer and protector of dreams- Lover, friend and Star Trekker, Tarot and Astrology Queen. Tagging is my obsession, Reading is my balm, Humor is my first best medicine, But music keeps me calm. A woman of strength and inner beauty, With a soul scarred by many ordeals- I can take it as well as I dish it, with humility, honor and zeal. I try to live life to its fullest- with 'Live and let live' my refrain; My family and friends are my treasures but my on-line pals keep me sane. Written By: ? ~Shels Dreams 2005~ Texas born and bred, stubborn as the land I came from. Diminutive size has nothing to do with strength of will. Weathered storms, bent but not broken, Rainbow dreams come from turbulent skies. Written By: ? ~Shels Dreams 2005~ Gentle soul that cherishes beauty, Fragile looks hide core of steel. Silver moon and water lover, nature's passion alive to feel. Sensitve to friend's emotions, Care for those before my own, Breaking walls within myself, my skills of empathy to hone. Storms enhance a stubborn spirit, Peace behind them comes to stay. Inner wounds need time and mending, Love will heal and end dismay. Written By: ? GraveFlower -Abnormality- I'm stuck in my head, I don't know who I am. I feel like nothing, stuck behind my skin. I feel like screaming, but no one will hear me. I'm too lost to know where I am, too blind to see. No one seems to care that I'm rotting away, I'm a dissapointment to everyone no matter what they say. I am a disaster within myself. All this time self pity is all that I have felt. I want to escape from whatever this is. Reality,hatred,sadness, life is this. What happened to being happy with who you are? What happened to being normal? Now I'm so far. Written By: ? Sabby E.S.V. 2005 A Poem About Me! I'm a dreamer I'm a lover I'm a wife And a mother I love to draw Or read a good book I love listening to music And I love to cook The Mystical and Supernatural Will keep me enchanted and Intrigued My favourite time of year Is of course, Halloween! I have a loving husband Who is my best friend and soul mate And I believe meeting him was simply pure fate But by far, my most precious treasure Would have to be My beautiful son Cody Who has enriched the lives Of my husband, our families and me. Written By: ? Kimberly Ann Me, Myself and I To my husband I am a wife and lover To my children I am their mother To my friends I am a shoulder to lean on To my gramma I am more of a daughter To my rest of my family I am an outcast The shrinks say I am a manic depressive   compulsive, obsessive disorder and     a sex addict I am a survivor of physical and mental abuse     by my mother. I am a survivor of sexual incestual abuse     by my father I prefer to be surrounded only by my husband     and our children I prefer to stay at home I tend to cling to memories of the past and     linger in them I have finally learned to bite my tongue     instead so saying something mean or hurtful       when I am in one of my moods I am very niave and gullable I'll give anything and everything to a friend in need I end up being taken advantage of because     I won't say NO That's when my hubby steps in and says it for me I desperately seek approval from others. I seam to befriend people that will need me I think that's called codependency So I have only one true friend my husband. Thus I would describe myself as absolutely crazy!
