You are what? They ask.
what doesn't matter. I answer.
I am. That's what is important.
What can be added later,
If later is ever needed
But I am anything
I am happy
I am alone
I am forgotten
I am unwanted
but I still am
still happy
still dreaming
still cherished
If only by myself
You see?
I know what I am
Everything
and
Nothing
Powerful
and
Whispered
Cautious
but
I­
*am
