I am

Exactly what you want to see

I am

Everything that you’ve ever wanted for me

I am

The culmination of my mom and dad’s dream

I am

Sheltered by the branches of a willow tree.

I am

Passive and able to keep listening

I am

Able to break hearts, while my body feels clean

I am

In love with my job, not with Alynn.

I am

Within reason to stare at a screen

I am

Convinced that I will live long off of burgers and ice cream

I am

Worried about what others will think

I am

Not able to take off my shirt, should I ever swim in a stream.

I am

I am…not happy.

I am not

Able to leave my shirt on, should I ever swim in a stream

I am not

Worried about what others think

I am not

Convinced that I will live long off of burgers and ice cream

I am not

Within reason to stare at a screen.

I am not

In love with my job, I am with Alynn

I am not

Able to break hearts, while my body feels clean

I am not

Passive and able to keep listening.

I am not

Sheltered by the branches of a willow tree

I am not

The culmination of my mom and dad’s dream

I am not

Everything that you’ve ever wanted for me

I am not

Exactly what you want to see.

I am not

A prisoner, nor am I free

In this society that is so consumed with the opinions of others

I choose to be

Me.
