Poem for June 10 (I am a Mountain)

I am a Mountain

I am part of the earth but I rise to the sky

for I realize the advantages in both

So in an instant I'm able to discern 

 just what I need the most

I am strong indeed all you need to do 

is view my structor and terrain

A mountain I am, and a mountain I will always remain

 not domineering but humble

For I am vulnerable to erosion and 

parts of me may crumble 

from harshness

and storms

But they come in the eve.

and are gone in the morn.

Where's, I still stand

For I am a mountain

and I stand

 Born of flesh and bone

so I stand

Strong as earth and stone

So, I must stand

Far from invincible

but yes, I stand

Sometimes less than sensible

but I must stand

Angry and broken

and you know, I still stand

Gestured or spoken

Doesn't matter, I stand

Tenacious' 

 outrages,

Through all my 

actions and

faces

watch me stand

through hurt,

hard work,

not for glory

or perks

I will always stand

not for pride

or to impress

any woman or man

 but just like 

you,

this

flawed

 human

Will always stand

because

I am a Mountain.
