I

I am a believer until a get screwed over
                      I’m a listener until none are willing to talk
                                       I am a lover
                                      Until no longer
                                      Loved by you.
                                      I am a truster
                                       Until you lie.
                                       I am a poet
                                      Until I cannot
                                      Rhyme a word
                       I am a fighter until I discover my grave
                  I live life to the fullest until I breathe no more
