All I Am
To you
I am
your friend
your acquaintance
your daughter
your sister
your aunt
your cousin
your niece
your in-law
your neighbor
your girlfriend
your ex
your classmate
your coworker
your dealer
your customer
a poet
a comedian
a girl
a musician
a seamstress
an artist
a weirdo
a bore
a joy
But those of which
I am to you
are all the things
I could be, too
I may lend my ear
I may give advice
I may ignore you
I may not treat you right
I may have hurt you
I may have helped you out
I may have made you smile
I may have made you warm
I may have changed you into someone futile
I may have been cold
Before I am who I am seen as;
Before I am who I could be;
Know the written word
is what's in me
And it will always be who I truly am
