Why I Am

I am because of the sunshine, moving through the trees. I am because of his sweat, blood and tears. I am because of the way she held my hand. I am because of the love shown by others. I am because of the night, drawing more and more into it. I am because of the way he used to whisper to me. I am because of every nightmare, and every terror. I am because of the blood spilled, and the tears shed. I am because I am.
