I Am


I am not my failures.

I am not my last name.

I am not my past.

I am not my grade.

I am not my nightmares.

I am not my wounds.

I am not my fears.

I am not my tears.

 

I am my successes.

I am the name I make.

I am my future.

I am my intelligence.

I am my dreams.

I am my healed scars.

I am my piece of mind.

I am my happiness.

 

I am who I am and that is that. You can be you, matter of fact.
