i am a poem. my stanzas are in my skin. my rhythm in my heart. beat in my fingertips. pulsating. my scars are my story. the ones you can see and the ones you cannot. i am many mistakes, lines words phrases X out. change this to sound prettier, change that to make sense. i am my history as ink to paper, traveling incessantly, twists and turns and loops. i am cursive and i am print. i am story and i am song. these inkblots are in my veins wicked and tangled. i am free to be what i choose, whether it is what you like or not. i am insatiable, for my words are endless. i am lies and i am truths, manipulation of words to caress the readers ear. i am adjectives and nouns. i speak verbs to make me move. i am hesitant when i wish then i am done. i am goodnight sun, goodmorning moon. i am swordfights and fairytales galore. i am sensible by little means, but you listen just the same. i am a beginning, i am a middle, and i am an end. but not this end...
