This is something that's been eating at me for a while... so I figured I'd finally take a stab at it...
I'm happy with what came of it...
I AM
(Yes I know I've used the title before but I like this piece a lot better)
Lost as lost can be…
Wading my way through uncertainty…
Just what does brother Fate have…
In store for the likes of me…?
I dream of clarity…
Of destiny…
My harmony in the depths of chaos…
A voice that echoes through the symphony of life…
A voice that speaks only two words…
I am…
Words alone…
With infinite possibilities together…
Two words with one meaning…
To exist…
To live…
To be…
I am…
The life I have lived…
The life I have chosen…
Sides of a chasm…
This path I walk…
With the hopes that lie ahead…
In the shroud of the vast unknown…
I am…
Always running forward…
Dragging behind me my glory and wonders…
My mistakes and my blunders…
The scars of my life that I can’t escape
Wounds of the body…
Wounds of the mind…
Wounds of the soul…
It really never ends…
The shadows we cast in our hearts…
The Demons we all possess…
Buried away with the tides of time…
Yet in the end our past returns…
One way or another…
I am…
Two words that I have abused in this life…
Two words that describe too many lives for one man to live…
In the struggle to find which one truly defines him…
But in truth… All of them do…
In truth… None of them do…
I am…
Two words I cannot escape from…
As I fight those that stand in my way…
As I stand tall for those at my side who cannot…
As I travel through this age we live in…
Seeking the Dreams that dance inside my head…
Searching for the strength to become that which I want to be…
Still hoping for the love that still remains unseen…
I am…
A man who wants a destiny of his own…
An inspirer of the mind and soul…
A forger of undying hope..
And a fool to place my faith in the world…
I am…
Many Things
Many Faces…
Many Lives…
A Man…
A Dreamer…
A Traveler…
A Chronian in thoughts and Dreams…
A friend…
A life…
A Heart…
I am…
The Modern Day Minstrel…
The Optimist Eternal…
The Crimson Dreamer…
The Master of Time…
I am…
So many things…
In Truth and Fantasy…
In Thought and Fact…
So many faces…
So many voices…
All screaming…
All shouting…
All singing…
In the hopes of finding those two words…
In the travels of this life…
In the moments of this time…
As each passes by…
I search to find the question …
To which I can answer…
I Am…
