I Am Poem by Mitzie Holstein

I am the deep blue waters of the Caribbean sea
So don't you dare try to decipher me
When golden sunrays filter through my curtain
I am warm and strong
Strong enough to move you along
With just a little help from the wind
As she pushes against my body she's my friend
She tickles my soul as she makes big and small waves from my skin
And as my rival she cohorts with the rain to bring me pain
And by then I am so enraged I devour everything in sight
I roar against the rocks and I am dark and no longer blue
The sun and sky are no longer my friends
And those who live within me I do not defend
Soon I'll be calm again but do not trust
I'll suck you in like a whirlpool deep in my gut
This is me
It's who I am
