I am

-(1st name)-

I am a dam that holds back the flood

Relative of anyone and everyone but blood

Resident of this dysfunction society that we call home

Who likes to voice her thoughts and feelings in words, read stories that would withdraw the most powerful emotion, and draw thoughts of her own

Who loves the thought of family, the tender embrace that comforts her and the one that has given her this life

Who fears desertion, the thought of fading with herself and her shadow, and the evil that lurks in the light

Who wishes that sometimes that all mistakes would correct themselves, that no one shall fade from her memory, and that all futures will be bright

Who admires Buddha, the weak who are now strong, and the correctors of all wrong

Who needs reassurance, the smarts to get through these times, and the courage to stand for what's right

Who aspires to fix all that needs fixing and give people hope for tomorrow

-(last name)-

You shall never know my real name.
