I Am


All that I am is not all that you see

the eye only holds your visual opinions 

just as the world consumes my being 

label me

 unedcuated, lost, distraught

YOU DON"T KNOW ME

you couldn't tell me who I am

when of course I know you couldn't tell me who you are

you define your own self by questioning my being without even knowing yourself

but I am.. I AM

the mind you should fear

the heart that beats a stong beat

to be heard by those who stand above me 

but will fall beneath my feet

The knowledge that consumes all that you believe

the hands that come out to you to save you from yourself

to lead you the way to knowing who you are

I am.. that helping hand that stands high in hopes to land amongst the weakened and bring them to the power they must withold to understand that 

who you are is more powerful than what the world wants you to be

and I am.. who my dreams depicted.
