I AM

I am the diamond in the rough, that noone wants to take the time to cut. The rock that is kicked

down the street as nobody seems to care. The rock that can be tailored to fit any purpose

imaginable. Forged from the depths of hell under immense pressure. I AM, the rarest and most

valuable object in the world.

I am the water in the cup of the beggar that is Poetry. The water that will revitalize that empty soul

for one more day. I am taken for granted by the rich and will not be noticed until my absence.

Those that will need me will eventually wither away from my absence. I AM, the most necessary

substance in the world.

I am the living martyr. The sole being that will take a stand for what i believe in. Waiting for a

cause to stand for. Never knowing why i am, nor questioning it. Simply, existing. Willing to give the

only life i will ever have, to make others live more peacefully. I AM, the boy next door.

I am the smoke of a cigarette. Free from the bounds and conformity of society. Free to take any

shape i feel, to flow whichever way the world takes me. Free to take lives by causing disease and

thus killing, without leaving a single drop of blood on my hands. I AM, chaos.

I am the pothead that smokes marijuana and sees inventions. The pothead that is looked down

upon by outsiders as slack and a menace to society. The pothead that invisions a world of true

freedom, without violence. The pothead that takes everything more graciously and giggles at the

little things in life. The pothead that brings fun back into the world. I AM, inspiration.

I am the person that watches chick flicks to get a better idea of what i want out of life. The person

that can speak from the depths of his heart, while still using his brain, and make another's knees

weak. The person that sees a girl his age, and begins picturing a life that they could share together,happily. I AM, romance

I am the crayon in the hands of a kindergartener. Used to portray the love of the family of this

innocent child. Used as this child begins their quest through The emotional rollercoaster that is life.

Used as this child learns to write their name for the first time. I AM, hope.

I am the thoughts of every scientist, discoverer, doctor, or writer. The thoughts of Leonardo Da

Vinci as he drew up plans to invent the worlds first flying machine. The thoughts of Albert Einstein

as he calculated numerous mathematical formulas and equations, still used today. The thoughts of 

Harriet Beecher Stowe as she wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin, as she brought the horrors of early

american slavery to the light. I AM, intellegence.

I am the rarest, most valuable, most necessary, chaotic, romantic, hopeful, intellegent,

inspirational, boy next door.
