I Am
Loud, Sporadic, Vicious.
Humorous, Confident, Forbearant.
This is who I am.
This isn’t who I am.
That is who people see
whether they know me or not.
I am everything
and nothing at once.
I am like a raging flame that burns down your false sincerity,
the trumpet that blares through the judgemental haze,
I am the hearth that welcomes you with open arms
but burns you if you’re too close,
and I do not care what you think.
I am the avid dreamer,
I have dreamed of many places,
many things.
And yet I’ve never spoken,
of how I’ve lived a thousand lives,
of how I’ve seen the rise and fall of many worlds,
and experienced many things unfathomable in reality.
There’s a lot of things I’m not very knowledgeable about,
yes that’s true,
but I know of many other things as well,
regardless of whether they pertain to reality or not.
I have long since stopped caring though,
whether it matters or not.
We all have played in the game of life,
and have gone across the board’s little squares
be it by cheating or honesty.
Whichever ways our paths may go
and even if our stairways fade or glow,
In my mind I always see
even if I am a contradiction,
I tell myself as if I were another person:
You are me.
