I Am

I've been there, that road 
which leads us all in a direction
we don't want to go.
We all hear it,
 feel it, 
taste it,
judge it, 
and learn from it. 
Anger, 
pain,
happiness, 
sadness
And yet we still thrive 
on the things we are not meant for
I am one person, 
but yet it doesn’t stop 
anyone from doing harm
They don’t realize 
that one person can’t take any more 
No more pain, 
no more agony 
Don’t tell me to do this or that 
I remember the things you tell me 
and things you make me do
Then is then 
and now is now
I am one
And I am
