I Am Me, and No One Else

I Am Me, and No One Else

I am but a mere mortal,

A man of the two.

I be only human,

With more flaws than most.

I think too much,

I breathe too much,

But I am me,

And no one else.

I feel so much,

I hear so much.

The taste of the sea,

It lingers upon my lips.

A feeling of love,

Embedded deep within.

A look of pain,

Inscribed upon my face.

But I am me,

And no one else.

I’ve seen too much,

But not enough.

I fought the dragons,

But haven’t won.

I may never beat them,

But that, it is okay.

For acceptance,

And for me it has been so.

I see things not as others,

But though a different view.

A more realistic type,

But painful in its nature.

For I seek the truth like the wiseman,

And yet it still evades me.

I feel no hope within,

A fact I’m learning to live with.

But this is me,

So take me for who I am,

Or leave me to the shadows.

But I am me,

And no one else.
