Who I Am....


I am...

Someone who doesn't stand out in a crowd,

who lingers with friends, 

hiding in the background.

I am...

The one who watches,

warily guarding those who I know, 

and those I don't.

I am...

The one you didn't see before you fell,

but the one you see now, 

living under a spell.

I am...

Now making my way through instead of around,

forging a path for others on the ground,

waiting for their purpose to be found.

I am...

A dreamer,

an achiever, 

a doer,

a seeker, 

an artist, 

a friend, 

but now that you know who I am, 

the question is passed to you, 

now say to yourself " I am..."
