I Am... I am the hole on your shirt you ignore. I am the rip on your shoe you scoff at. I am the cage surrounding your mind you can't stand. I am the lock that won't bother to open. I am the salt that you breathe from the waves and wipe off. I am the scar on your skin holding a memory you can't forget. I am the disease in your body you wish to fight. I am the cold in the winter you block with warmth. I am the person you wish you never met, and want nothing to do with. I am the person who wishes to be better, but starts to believe, "I will never be accepted. I am the heart no one wants beating."
