Read Poem: THIS IS THE COLLECTIVE OF ME, by Ruth Gonzales

Memories, stored, may be distorted, as time and life have a way of influencing our thoughts.
I had to adapt to survive… so I will be your historian and bring my memories alive.
Ones actions are shapely factors, of what and when we chose to retrieve, believe, and when having to re-live the past.
Breaks my heart inside, to know how many times “young me” pleaded and cried. I’m here now to redeem her. The forces in my mind have got to release her.
A prisoner of the caged past, eternally sentenced for safe keeping.
This is the collective of me, we shall start with the relentless, resilient, awesomeness of “Human me”.
“I am” the fight, I live, I stand for, the keeper of “Human me”, we, and other earthly beings.
Prosperity, humility, ever evolving, pay it forward of ‘a life I strive to lead.
Relentless! “Happiness” is the captain of our team.
“I am”, leads the charge. No one hurts you, there’s a protector inside.
Fair, remains aware, and will only use force, when involving someone who robs one’s innocence and one’s choice.
Hear me now! I’m someone who protects or dies trying, “I am”, is the voice, in my mind.
