For and Forever


I am a stacked deck of cards 

With a facade for each and every moment

Shuffled when ruffled, I become tossed to the wind

Free flowing, unpredictable, but most of all volatile

 

I am a cascade of curiosity

overwhelming the world with intrigue

Seeking solace in knowledge

and adventure in the unknown

 

I am the river that flows into the ocean

My current is steady and unwavering 

I can be cut off and turned towards a new path

But I'll inevitably find my way back to the sea

 

I am good and I am evil

Neutrality is foreign to me

I am my sins and my perfections

Defined but also separate

 

I am all these things and more

I am but one of the world in its course

I have my part to play and so I shall

But I shall do it as I am, anonymous
