I Am! - John Clare (Powerful Life Poetry)

  • Опубликовано: 4 сен 2021
  • John Clare was an English poet who lived most of his life in abject poverty.
    His life was marred by bouts of mania and depression, and for the final 23 years of his life, Clare was locked in an insane asylum.
    It was here he began to write poetry; ‘I Am’ was Clare’s final elegy before his passing.

    I am not an educated man in terms of schooling but I have recently found these types of poems or quots and there has been a few of them that have seemed to be what I have lived my life by without ever knowing there were people in the past that thought they were important enough to carry on to the present and push to the future. So today I feel more intelligent because of seeing or should say hearing some of what I have practiced in my every day of life. Thank you from a dropout of the 9 grade

    This crushed my soul, my those who forsaken this man for his sadness, depression, and loniness... YES for those who forsaken the mask of pour sadness and created a label upon this man be forsaken and shamed themselves..
    Nobody in the hands of time chooses a life of personal sinking within, Nobody chooses loniness, Nobody chooses poverty and the judgment that bring by everyone whom says they care but the cruel reality is NOBODY does...
    My soul of those who choose to be collected energy I feel the burden they created to all those of the "once was, the once was, the once should, the once could, the once who, the once us, and now the once "is"...
    God bless this man's soul and those who "thought they knew".. But then again does anyone really take the time to put forth an action if clause with a depiction of sight with feelings where all actions of acts are carried through the hands of time in order to change the world of what's to come..
    I think not.. the acts of actions are those who state the untold truth an act of all actions said to be of education from meaningless book with a sheet of paper of "proof" to act in place.. to create actions of cruelty, to hide the "True Reactions" they created.. why I ask.. why ..
    No matter.. No reaction marters the sadness to all those who chooses to react from those in an action of time..
    Once a dragon not always a dragon...
    Labeling is a payment for life those who choose this creedy path won't only change faith but you take the chance to loose the faith God has chosen for you...

    Any lyric poem by the geniuses of literature is a beautiful masterpiece in my opinion, because poems are not written by ourselves, making them up from the void or from the night illusions of dreams. Poems are dictated by the Almighty, and we, being authors and his mediators of creativity, simply transfer them to paper to make them immortal classics for posterity. 💖💖💖
