I Am:


I Am:

 

Aqua.

Sentient,

Tranquil,

Yet a storm on the inside;

Raging under moonlit waves-

Sometimes,

it is not for the best.

 

Both.

One,

Different-

Two sides, or perhaps several;

Depending on who you may find yourself to be,

I may let myself free.

 

Solitude.

Fairy lights and a flickering flame to set ease and relieve,

Gaze out the window into the silent night-

Yes,

now everything is alright.

 

I am Entranced-

Entranced by pittering-pattering against the window;

Storms, pounding against me, yet I am safe;

Cherry blossoms, floating in the wind on a cool day,

and a sip of something warm.

 

Sometimes I am Confused.

Hurting.

Afraid.

Not everything is perfect;

but that is okay.

I am fixing the broken patches

with the help

of my Creator;

I have faith,

Though the storms of this life

Are not easy paths to run.

 

Ambition is my success,

Procrastination, my enemy.

Passion will help me achieve;

Loving will help me believe.
