What I Am


I am

calm

collected

confident.

I know who I am and yet I am not

a braggart

complacent

destroyed.

I try and I fail, but I keep going, for I am

daring

determined

denied.

Who I am does not concern you; I can find my own way.

I can describe my inner workings, not perfect, yet me.

I know who I am, I can change who I am, not you,

So I am

Arduous

Galvanizing

Me
