I am that which cannot be broken The untamed spirit Of a wandering soul in a weary sack of bones Floating endlessly through cycles of longing And loss I am that which cannot be tamed The wilds of a forest The passion of love I am that which is blessed With the curse of life And of strife I am that which cannot be explained The random mutation And spontaneous creation I am both the poem and the poet The rhyme and the time spent and made I am not but a memory of a figment of a fraction of the sight Of all you have seen in your life I am that which I claim to be I am that which you make of me To myself I am nothing more than a tapestry Worn down by time Worn out by life And still exuberant The untold stories and unseen glories I am that which cannot be broken I am the will and the way I am.
