Who Am I?
Who am I?
I am a listener in a world full of repliers.
I am honest in a world full of liars,
and while a fib may slip,
I repent for my sins in front of people who bash triers.
Yet I slither like a snake, and attack my prey,
although the strike unexpected,
I leave them knowing my name.
I would say I'm humble,
but that defeats the purpose.
I can own a million things,
and you'd never know of one purchase.
And even still, people claim they know me,
but they've only scratched the surface.
I despise ones who encourage violence,
amongst a familiar reflection of themselves.
But become irate when others put violence,
on the top shelves.
I am derived from adoration,
and cannot understand those who lack toleration.
And while I now laugh from a place of admiration,
I once cackled at ridicule and accusation.
I am still making an effort to grow,
into something I don't completely criticize.
So I continue to ask myself,
"Who am I?"
