I Am


I am my heart, beating to a steady beat, never faltering.

I am my chuckles when I spend time with friends.

I am a hurricane, wild and unpredictable, but with a touch of calm.

I am the blue glow of my computer screen, paving the way for work and play.

I am my mom’s eyes when they light up to see me coming.

I am the scared little boy, traveling across the globe.

I am the night, and the fear and dreams it holds.

I am my parent’s voice, lulling me into reality.

I am the sun’s rays, burning on my face.

I am the humming bird that lays its eggs outside my room.

I am the cry that escapes my lips when I am down in the gutter.

I am the cry that comes when a gift is opened.

I am good, I am evil, I am a person.

For good or for ill.

I am me.
