I am?

I am?

A Poem by Misfit By Choice
"

I Am...



I am the graffiti

Stretching the length of my arms

Used as a distraction 

From the real story

Painted there.


I am the small, barely 

noticeable cuts on your

wrists, 

reminding you of times 

when things 

got so bad

you needed a distraction


I am the friend you never had, 

to tell you you ARE 

Those strong endless mountains,

You are a dancer on the winter air, 

Taking my breath away.


I am the flood 

Flowing down, the sadness my spring

My tears the drops lost

Over the downpour


Me, the wall you lean on

in hard times, 

hiding my own feelings

to be strong for 

you.

I am the insecurities, 

unsaid words and 

symbols coating your skin

I am the fights, and 

insults, and hunger,

cutting deeper every day


I am the stranger, 

treating another

in the way you only

dream, of being treated,

the boy who, deep down

is just, like you.
