I Am

I am...

Born with the tears

Uncuddled by the earth,

Received by the eager arms of a mother,

The unknown, muted by hope waits around the corner.

I am...

Watching a world of confusion

Swallowed in an ocean of beauty

Addiction and motive fused into passion,

Without control I earn more than my ration.

I am...

Fallen head first into a loud lone silence.

Mistakes soon learn obedience.

Schooled in an eternal struggle.

Undone by trusted people.

I am...

Unseen, unheard.

Untouched, but broken.

Eyes filled with visions of tomorrow,

Heart shattered with each piece darkened by sorrow.

I am...

Stronger now by the day,

The floating castle now can wait,

Rigid hands on the clock.

I'm paid not to dream, but work.

I am...

At this door with my heart in my hand,

Or are they flowers, beating... beating...

My soul screaming loud,

My spirit shy as a child.

I am...

Intoxicated by the wine of love's first kiss.

Bliss, pleased stay a while.

Wish answered in baby's cry,

Proud father, now am I.

I am...

The love that survived this selfish earth.

The hero without a comic book,

The seed that grow into and undying tree,

A story, a memory, a legacy.
