What Am I?


I am strong.
I am weak.
I am everything you wish to be,
yet nothing at all.
I am the protector and the sinister,
an avenger and the sought after,
the cure and the illness.
A leader, a follower;
I am the brave and a coward.
I am my greatest accomplishment,
and my own worst enemy.
I am your sweetest dream,
and your worst nightmare.
Driven by passion and running on fumes,
I am perfect because of my imperfections.
I am human--
so are you.
