-I Am-

I am open minded,
yet also closed minded.

I am a rebel,
yet still a member of the croud.

I am an enigma,
yet shown wide for all to see.

I am a demon
but also a saint.

I am...

I am the fear that dwells in the hearts of all men and women,
and yet I am the hope that appears when needed most.

I am the shadow that hides all,
yet I am the light that reveals what is hidden

I am loved and cared for,
yet feared and mistreated.

I am...

I am a protecter to all,
yet protected by many.

I am a granter of wishes,
yet I am a destroyer of dreams.

I am a builder of inspiration,
yet a wrecking ball to ideas.

I am a fighter,
yet I do not fight.

I am...

I am truthful,
yet I am never honest.

I am a secret keeper,
yet I hold no secrets.

I am a locked, withered diary,
yet nothing is written on my pages

I am no-where,
yet I am everywhere all at once.

I am someone else,
yet I am only me.

I am...

I am only me.
