I don't exactly know how to use this yet, so excuse me if I'm doing something wrong.
[Introduction]

If I was the wind I would never stop howling at the moon and the glory's beneath it, stranded there. If I was the wind I would never stop and look around, I would be fast and ferocious the kind that blows your hair in every which way. If I was the wind I would laugh, sing and dance. I would twirl on your soft fingertips and for maybe a moment you would be able to feel something. Your body would be mine and I would feel every inch, every crevice, and every nook and cranny you ever had. I would be your guide telling you which path too walk and which path to run. You would tell me too switch directions to stop following you everywhere you went but I can't help it. There seems to be a storm cloud over your head that I'm trying to push away, but every time I push the cloud grows, rumbles and lights up with fury. In all this mess that we deal with I can't help but notice the way your warmth feels against my broken flesh. Because oh boy am I broken, broken in places even I don't understand. They say we're supposed to lead our own lives the way we wish too and that's why I want to live like the wind, nobody ever telling me how to go. I chose what direction I want to go down, which direction I want to walk down because honey at a pace like this we might as well be dead.

But if I was the fire that kept you warm on these nights below twenty I would strangle you with my smoke. I would be out of control and I would never want to stop, nothing could make me stop in fact. I would keep burning everything in my path till I got too you and when I got there just like in my destructive nature I would try to hold you but your skin would sizzle and pop. Maybe I wouldn't let go, maybe I wouldn't want to let go, just maybe I would want to see you hurt too, see the devastation in your eyes. Because that's something a destructive creature would want too do, too see the chaos spark your eyes to make you feel again. Too see color return to your pale cheeks and sometimes I wish even you could feel the fire that burns in your gut, the hatred that rises and fades. If I was the fire I would never let you go until all the color had returned to your body and I could see white popping out in places it wasn't supposed too. Nobody wants to be fire though, it will hurt people, it kills and cannot be contained easily but I want to be fire and if I was the fire I would melt away all your sins and make you new again.

Or maybe I could be the water, ebbing and flowing down the stream. Never stopping too take a look around I would just keep moving alongside you without your notice. But if I was like the water all the things around me would blur and I wouldn't be able to understand how life is because you see if I was water and you were you, you could come swimming at any time you pleased. You would strip yourself like a snake and slither inside, I would keep running past you in a never ending battle as you fought the current. You jumped and pleaded for me too let you up just for a breath of fresh air but I wouldn't let you because just like the tide I would drag you away with me. I hope you don't mind but somebody like you just can't be wasted on a world like this. You seem surprised that night when I looked you in the eyes and told you who I was and you told me who you were. Exchanging unfamiliar glances with me as I just sat there in awe wondering why I was the water when somebody like you was around me. You should guess by now that even though small and fragile water is a dangerous thing and that's why I would want to be the water so I could show you how to make yourself expand into something more than you already are.

Oh but if I was the Earth and saw you walking all over me like everybody else does then I would create a sinkhole beneath your feet and suck you in to me. I would crush your bones in an instant after all the things you did to me could conjure up all these dead emotions. If I was the Earth than I would place obstacles in your way to test you, to test your theory on how to get out alive. If I was the Earth you wouldn't be able to think about me without getting shaken I would lay down my wrath for everyone to see and I wouldn't even be embarrassed for showing those people who I was. I would stand tall with my beautiful trees, oceans, and all the things that make me, me. I would take a stand for who I was because I know who I am and I know who I want to be. I want to be helpful to show you how I am too show you the good that is out there but no body quiet understands it yet. If I was the Earth I would take you by the hand and show you my vast open sky's and maybe for a second you would know how I felt when I'm with you. But I will never be the Earth or the wind or the fire and even the water I will never be but that's okay because all around me there is life sweeping me away closer and closer to the shore.
