'i'

I am, I believe, I think, and I feel. Yet much more is asked, for It all to be real. I need, I thirst, I hunger and sleep. Where nurturing is required For all those to keep. I crawl, I walk, I run before I leap. While staying along the path That isn't too steep. I learn, I grow, I stumble & I fall. Discovering the balance if I'm to stand tall. I dream, I hope, I travel where I see. A place in the universe, Understandable to me. I write, I speak, I love & I hate. Adapting to survive beyond What I create. I conceive, I receive, I grieve & deceive. As my guilt is positioned, Never to leave. I explore & ignore, I give & will take. Searching for those answers, None of them fake. I know I horde more, yet here I'll lie. Since I'm convinced I will deny, Long before I die.
