A. Chambers

“I Am

I am the voice inside your head,
I am the whore in your lover’s bed,
I am the one who seeks to harm,
I am the scars that blight your arm;

I am the tears you cannot control,
I am what consumes your soul,
I am your mind, your thoughts, your mood,
I am your passive attitude;

I am the emptiness within,
I am the game you cannot win,
I am the fury that you feel,
I am the wound that will not heal;

I am the reason that you cry,
I am the fear that will not die,
I am your self-doubt, guilt and shame,
I am resentment, hate and blame;

I am the sum of all you give,
I am the way you choose to live,
I am all you choose to do,
I am nothing without you.”
