I am the boxer

the fighter who never tires

heart-pounding, fist-pumping, eyes blazing

 

I am the gallant warrior

Racing into battle with my sword held high

To fight your demons and mine

 

I am the crying child

Heart-aching, lips quivering, tears streaming

Calling for my mommy

 

I am the broken toy

Used and abused

nothing left to lose

 

I am the monster

Destroying everything in sight

I am the monster you fear at night

 

I am the artwork you try to understand

but never can

 

I am all of these things

in a beautiful mess I call

Me
