    I
    Please allow me to introduce myself....
    I am sickness; I am health.
    I am poverty; I am wealth.
    If you didn't hear me coming,
    its because my name is stealth.
    I am indifference; I'm concern.
    I am stupid, so eager to learn.
    I am ice and my touch, it burns.
    I am love and I am hate.
    I am crooked, standing straight.
    Ten minutes early, I'm always late.
    I am your destiny, also your fate.
    I am joy and I am pain.
    My smile is sunshine;
    My tears, the rain.
    I can't go on, yet I sustain.
    It is I on whom you place the blame.
    I am righteous; I am wrong.
    I am short but all too long.
    I am forgiveness;
    I am sin.
    I am loss and still, I win
    I'm obesity, deathly thin.
    Only to be ousted,
    I manage to get in.
    I am your weeping heart when you force your face to grin.
    It is only where I start, that brother you begin.
    I'm with lonely husbands
    and all those crying wives.
    Will shout to end the violence
    but still conceal a knife.
    I am with the poor man
    in his eternal strife.
    I implore you; Introduce yourself!
    I, my friend, am life.

    It's honest and real, though sometimes pessimistic

    Pessimistic? Perhaps you are looking at the glass half empty...for each negative there is a positive...that is life in the rawest form...

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
