I Am the Lonely Steps


I am the nightmare,

I am a dream:

I am so simple,

I am more than I seem

 

I am stronger

Than you will ever be:

I am weaker,

Than I will let you ever see

 

I am my freedom,

I am my suppression:

I am the happiness,

I am the depression

 

I am the heat of the moment,

Yelling as loud as I may:

I am the deafening silence,

When there’s nothing left to say

 

I am a perfect picture,

I am a beautiful sonnet:

I am a sincere two face,

I am brutally honest

 

I am the change in the world,

We all hope so desperately for:

I am the beauty of peace,

Right before the monster that is war

 

I am a cannon ball,

I am a swan dive:

I am a car wreck,

I am a Sunday drive

 

I am a beloved voice,

Crying through the phone:

I am the lonely steps,

As you walk home alone
