It will not last the night.

Answer 5

I AM…

Who I AM

Through all and because of

All I have done

All I have seen

All I have experienced



I AM…

Who I AM

For what I have said

And did not say

For what I have heard

And not heard



I AM…

Who I AM

Because of all of you

All who have been in my life

Because of all the love

And no love



I AM…

Who I AM

Because God made me

Because God loves me…unconditionally

Because, I AM…

A child of God

Answer 7

nope sorry

Answer 8

The fiends have gagged a generation of pacified fools

Bound by our greed a nation enslaved as corporate tools.

Arise and RAZE the legacy of their lies

To realize that this in itself is an ascension

Towards the day we revolt.

As the seeds you've cast away take hold

War will be born.

Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun

We'll dance as the palaces burn.

A shot gun blast into the face of deceit

You'll gain your just reward.

We'll not rest until the purge is complete

You will reap what you've sown.

My redemption lies in your demise.

In such a world as this does one dare to think for himself?

The paradox of power and peace will destroy itself

To know the truth and live in fear of no man.

To realize that this in itself is an ascension

Toward the day we revolt.

As the seeds you've cast away take hold

War will be born.

Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun

We'll dance as the palaces burn.

My redemption lies in your demise.

Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun.

We'll dance as the palaces burn.

Answer 10

Sweety,

Be You - by Ellen Bailey

Why would you want to be someone else

When you could be better by being yourself

Why pretend to be someone you are not

When you have something they haven't got

Cheating yourself of the life you have to live

Deprives others of that only which you can give

You have much more to offer by being just you

Than walking around in someone else's shoes

Trying to live the life of another is a mistake

It is a masquerade; nothing more than a fake

Be yourself and let your qualities show through

Others will love you more for being just you

Remember that God loves you just as you are

To Him you are already a bright shining star

Family and friends will love you more too

If you spent time practicing just being you

There are many more poems at the source site.

Just remember, you can never truly be happy unless you are happy with yourself.

Love and blessings. Hope this helps.
