Poem: It's Me

It's me

I gladly say and admit

that I did it

I didn't win

I took

I didn't look

to see if you noticed

I was blatant

coherent

and content

with taking

there was no mistake

I didn't contemplate

what you would think

because I was at my brink

I knew the consequences

yet I jumped all the fences

it was intense

and I meant every word

every movement

I sounded all vowels

and all consonants

and all was resonant

because I didn't hide

I didn't stay quiet

I did it

out in the open

for all to see and hear

and I admit it

so cast your blame

call me lame

but you started the game

and I answered by doing it

I took a stand

I raised my voice

I took action

Yes, I did it with conscience

I made the tough decision

to blow the whistle
