I Am
I am the master of mediocrity…
The commander of inadequacy…
The king of the mundane…
I am the conqueror of an empty battlefield…
I am the guardian of shame…
I am the dictator of all the autumn trees…
I choose which limbs will first lose their leaves…
My dreams are dull, and make no sense…
I’m a prisoner of no war tied to a broken fence…
My motivation was stolen even though it was free…
I am the supreme ruler of my vast, one-inch sea…
