That Is Who I Am

Me?

I am...

The lines in my sketchpad,

The color on my canvas.

The shapes: emotions. Escaping from

Swirled-up-and-tangled-inside—

Me.

Tangled; But in a beautiful spider web

Of unbreakable steel,

A thing called

Soul.

I am strong.

This I know.

I have beaten ED; continue to beat him down.

I fall, yet I stand again—

Stronger; more determined—

Because:

I am worthy.

I am unique.

I am more than an object.

I am a lover,

A feeler,

A doer,

Passionately fighting for those with silent handicaps—

Of the mind,

Of the heart;

Seeking to wipe away the pain

Of scarred souls.

I am

A giver.

A healer.

A daughter.

A sister.

A friend.

I am

Me.

Plain and simple.

And that

Is who

I am.
