I Am

I am a dreamer I know I am capable of greatness But I am grounded in hesitancy I am a listener, an observer I take in the world before me With open eyes and eager interest I am an adventurer I have the desire to try anything new Even if it terrifies me I am cautious because I am scared Scared I might not like the result Scared I'll fail...again. I'm talkative, I'm a writer Sometimes I need to be heard Or just hear the sound of my own voice I am impulsive and reckless I change my mind Sometimes too much for my own good I am steady. I am strong. I always make it through Even when it feels impossible I'm full of emotion I love with my whole heart And I do it freely I forgive, I make amends. It's heartbreaking to go to bed With regrets or being angry. I'm a believer in change Not the kind politics brings But the kind that betters you as a person I am a lover. I'm a romantic. Who believes in happy endings And waiting forever for the right one I'm a sister and a daughter Who never feels quite adequate When it comes to her family I'm a people watcher I can tell you more about someone then most After watching them for just ten minutes I'm a friend, I smile. I hate letting people down I'd do anything for someone I cared about I'm a doubter. I'm a liar. I doubt myself continually. I lie to myself to make it easier. I am me. No one else can be me. No one will ever really understand what it is That makes me tick. Don't try to...just let me be me!
