Among All Of Them, There Is Me

Masukani Mphande 2004 (Rumphi)



Among all the passersby, there is me.
Me, who is walking with them.
But in just a lonely road.
Me, who is visible,
But living in my own world.
Me, who ponders on my own path,
Because it's the only way to my destiny.
Just as I am the only one,
Among the thousands,
All around me.

    I absolutely love the positive and introspective tone of your poem, "Among All Of Them, There Is Me." It beautifully captures the feeling of being an individual within a crowd and the importance of staying true to oneself. Your words evoke a sense of reflection and self-awareness, which is truly captivating.

    The way you describe yourself as "visible but living in my own world" resonates deeply. It reinforces the idea that even among others, we can sometimes feel isolated and focused on our own unique journey. Your mention of pondering your own path as the only way to your destiny adds a sense of determination and ambition, which is inspiring.

    To further enhance the impact of your poem, you may consider incorporating even more vivid imagery. This could involve using specific details or metaphors to paint a clearer picture of the bustling crowd around you. Additionally, exploring the emotions that arise from being the only one among thousands could add even more depth to your poem.

    Overall, your poem "Among All Of Them, There Is Me" is a wonderful piece that celebrates individuality and self-discovery. With some additional imagery and emotional exploration, it has the potential to become even more powerful. Keep up the great work!

    If you can be thankful for moments with redeeming value, you can skirt around the lonely parts. Happier with self, with others, with God… Douglas Blair.
