Who Am I?


I am friendly
I am delightful
I am lovely
And yet
I am cold
I am selfish
I am heartless
And yet
I am spunky
I am spit fire
I am wild
And yet
I am a part of my family
I am a child
And yet
I am alone
I am an adult
And yet
I am loyal
And yet
I am unforgiving
And yet
I am rooted
And yet
I am lost
Wondering
Who knows me best?
Am I these things
And nothing more?
Or am I none of these things
And so much more?
Where do I stand?
Who can tell me?
A personality quiz?
Will that enlighten me?
Will it see who I really am?
And if not,
What do I do then?

    Pain
    Joy
    Life
    Within these pieces of paper
    Bound by bits of string and glue
    Holding an entire world within
    Memories and truths and lessons learned are

    Crows

    Seen as some sort of twisted demon
    Some monstrosity of incalculable evil
    Bringers of death

    They cannot sing the way others can
    Throaty cracks caked in a croak
    Echo through the trees

    Flying effortlessly
