I Am... ME!!!


I  am... not just the matrix of dust drawn, 

in the image of my creater,

thus spawned in the womb of ignorance.

I am not just some THING

manifested from guilty pleasures of my forefathers,

I am not the wound that you seek to

clean and cover, to make yourself better,

I am not a creature that has evolved from the uninhabitable wilds of your imagination, 

I am not the flesh encased in this thickly plastered melanin shell,

I am the irony of life, too loathesome to appreciate

Too good be taken away,

I am greatness, love, pain, sorrow, laughter, selflessness and joy,

In a world encompassed by infinite and eternal darkness,

I am... ME!!!
