All I Am

all i am
is played out in song
of what i have 
and haven't got
from the outside
may not appear a lot 
but all i am
has been hard fought

all i am
in the sense of it
never one
to ever think to quit
not one iota
not a single bit 
all i am 
is all i'm meant

all i am
this side of life
is the question of 
and the reason why 
to say and do
to do and die
all i am
is the open sky

Closer to my style. Very nice. The ending reminded me of the lyrics from a George Harrison song, "All I have is yours. All you see is mine."
