I Am-Contest

Wisdom over brains One friend over fame Love over wealth Humility over anything else A slow dance over a fast The present over the past Life over regret A Sunrise over a sunset A day dream over a night one Clouded skies over a bright sun Selfless over selfish Perspective over helpless Words written over words spoken A introvert over a people person Misunderstood over Misread Heart over head Rhyme over reason Poems over bleeding I am over I was I AM over I WAS

Very nice clean uncluttered yet inviting to be read further as I went along. I might have left out a couple of the a's and the's just to help the flow but that's me lol. Thanks for sharing.
