I Am
As I kneel to the prominence of a higher understanding with one eye shut tight, a becoming
takes place in existence.
I am the one who has seen the smile of the decietful and have heard the songs of
blasphemy. In all i have kept an un-tainted eye as well as the ability to hear the truth.
I am that soul which has witnessed the dissection of earthly pleasure giving way to
passionate turmoil. Yet I wear the shoes of loyalty and principal as the need for turmoil lays
at my feet.
I am the same one who has been born in and raised by the entity known as pain.
Conversations with this entity has given me an un-precedent accuracy of mind, with a torso
of forged endurance. I have had no greater companion or teacher.
I am he who holds a spirit that must drink from the crying of the sky and be fed by the
sustenance of a world that is hoped for. However this same spirit is intertwined with an un-
curable longing known as desire that will never reach a state of content.
I am this same one who has sat in the presence of murderers, monsters,and those who
appreciate atrocity. yet without a violent tendancy of my own, I have traveled their mind
space and understood their thoughts, gaining their their utmost respect.
I am the one who has visioned the tears of infants that drizzle unto the earth"s soil, bringing
forth rivers, valleys, and never ending forest.
where there is smoke without flame, where there is flame without heat, where principal is
without loyalty.
Where all that matters is endurance of atmosphere...I am.
