Apache Tears Poet Rhyme

I Am-Contest

Wisdom over brains
One friend over fame
Love over wealth
Humility over anything else
A slow dance over a fast
The present over the past
Life over regret
A Sunrise over a sunset
A day dream over a night one
Clouded skies over a bright sun
Selfless over selfish 
Perspective over helpless
Words written over words spoken
A introvert over a people person
Misunderstood over Misread
Heart over head 
Rhyme over reason
Poems over bleeding
I am over I was
I AM over I WAS
