(I am) I am the swollen shiner  from life's sucker punches. Bloodied noses from left field jabs. The kidneys that feel the brunt force when you get stabbed in the back. I am the intricate plan, designed so you can fail, the question with no right answer. I am the fighting chance and strands of hope, morally pulling you through times of disaster. I am the child holding a bottle of jack daniels, flying off the handles of life and landing in shambles. I am the realization that nukes will not be our finale, that our world is ****** we have one last tally. I am a poem, of a child so true, about lifes questioning lessons with nothing left to do....but wait. I am....
