I Am

I am.... in the strength of the wind,
feeling empowered, envisioned and free.

I am.... in the presence of others,
nobody, worthless, destructive, and nothing.

I am.... a survivor of terrors,
of life's challenges, and catastrophes.

I am.... a failure in society,
living below what others expect me to be.

I am.... a person, a dreamer, a believer,
with love, compassion, faith, and talents.

So please.... stop trampling so freely,
harshly, so cruelly, because I can't take back...
Can't relive, anything that passed.
Yet without it, I would never be,
... the ....

I am.... that I was meant to be.
