"sha'ahnleh: they danced with fate"-the kiesha'ra series by amelia atwater-rhodes


I am more
than meets the eye
My low hung head
and gentle sigh

I think more
than I speak
I use my words
when I am weak

I hold on
to who I am
what you see;
an auspicious scam

You say you are
stronger than I
My low hung head
and gentle sigh

But you know not
just who I am
for what you see;
an auspicious scam

I try to show
what you cant see
the inner part
and all
of me,

I'll prove to the world
I'll show them
I'll try;
That I am more
than meets the eye

As I've aged this poem has gained more and more meaning for my journey through life. It's time I accepted and love myself like I've been trying to tell everyone else to. I will not give up again.

what you see;
an auspicious scam"

This poem is just fantastic. I like the rhyme usage and the repetition of "I am more that meets the eye." My favorite lines are lines 26-28 when you say"I'll prove to the world, I'll show them, I'll try" because you want the world to remember your name. You could make this poem better by describing yourself more.
