I AM


I am, a soul of passion
for people and life.
I am, the kind,
the kind to build a bridge
when I'm threatened to be burned.

I am, of persistaint feet,
and busy hands.
I am, the kind,
the kind to move forward,
and craft my own world.

I AM in possession of my own life,
I AM in control of and oppourtunity.

I am scared like most, but-
I am me like no one else.

And as I am me,
here,
now...
I wonder how long I wasted on 
Who I WAS.
Who I COULD BE.

Then I crack back my reality,
because I AM in possession of my life. 
I AM in control of my oppourtunity,
and I will not waste it to be like YOU.
