I Am Poem

I am,
The one to have a dream
Not like M.L. King Jr.
But my own dreams that I see

I am from,
The huffing and puffing
Trying to make a play
Tackling opponents in a football game
From just living for the moment of playing under the Friday night lights
To now being a fan,
sitting in the student section

I am from,
Watching the debates on NFL Live,
to watching ESPN right afterward.
From the orders of pizza being eaten while cheering for the football games
To the different tabs I flip through on the computer screen every week
checking my Fantasy Football Leagues

From musical and lyrical styling
To covering songs on YouTube
From the chords that I'm strumming
and drum beats I'm banging.
From playing the guitar when I wake up until I sleep
From being silent
but have my instruments speak

I am,
From never settling down for what I have.
To always craving for more.
From never having to stop until I drop.
To having the sky be my limit.
My dreaming is never over.
Until I’m finished.
