I am
A poem written with the prompt, "I am."

I am

I am aware of death, living life with fun
Thirsting for what life has to offer.
A Bounty paper towel.

I am rough not smooth as silk.
A jagged piece of glass
Ripping through life’s fabric.

I am an abnormal loop
Processing thoughts
Through a bowl of spaghetti.

I am prejudice seeing its advantages
To escape the light
At the end of the tunnel.

I am disabilities.
I only lose
If I quit.

I am a shrimp without its shell
Motivated to find refuge,
A kingdom of safety.

I am the face of abuse,
Life long scars never healed.
Am I alone in the journey?

I am the mundane noodle covered with sauce
Ordinary in every way you think
Until its too late, hello heart burn.

I am the path less traveled, an irregular orbiting star. 
Twinkle twinkle little star.
Don’t dare catch me.

I am a writer alone in his thoughts
Rome could be burning
Without notice.

I am master
Of my own fate. 
God is me.

I am living because of contradictions.
Impossible to understand. 
Hell, I even have questions.

I am man, freak of nature.  Monkey or man?
3% is the small margin of difference. 
Look in mirror, seek the truth.
