I am
What puts you to sleep each and every night
What makes you shiver with marvelous sights,
What comforts you when the sky’s unbright
What hugs you all through the daylight

I am
What forces you to walk through the halls
What keeps your chin up when others fall,
What puts a smile on your face
What perfects your appearance and your race

I am
What triggers your angry mood
What makes you look up to the moon,
And makes you say to yourself in spite
That I am special and alone tonight

I am
The flaws you show each day
Mounted in your body while your mind is at bay,
Rooted deep into your ancestral genes,
Outshined by your outstanding dreams

I am
Your power, your deep desire
Your brain, that creates neat things

I am your gifts that seem to shine,
I am the thing you think is mine

I am your evil, bloody glare
That shows me your unwilling to share

I am your worth, your want for money
I am the thing you think is funny


I am your eyes, covered with unwanted surprise,
I am your heart beating loud with ambition
I am your lips creating repetition.
I am your lips refusing to move,
I am everything that defines you.

Fatigue, passion, comfort, persistence
And determination
And confidence
And happiness, perfection

Rage, wonder and flaw
power , imagination, talent

Envy, value and fear
Love, hesitation, secret,

I am
Your true colors

And I am always here
