I am the unscratched surface of my potential.
I am the first step waiting to be taken.
I am the smirk that won't wipe off my face.
I am the unquenched thirst.
I am the desire.
I am the patience that is wearing thin.
I am the end of the rope.
I am the love unspoken for.
I am the fear, but I am the courage.
I am the uncharted waters.
I am the waiting, the waiting, the waiting.
I am the glass half full.
I am the unspoken understanding.
I am the butterfly effect.
I am the arms raised in victory,
I am the hands holding my head in defeat.
I am the moment of clarity.
I am the double take.
I am the words I scribble.
I am the lips unkissed, my hands not held.
I am the lyrics.
I am the melody.
I am the honesty,
I am the loyalty.
I am the wonder, the beautiful wonder.

I am the late night talk.
I am the sour and I am the sweet.
I am the last blink before sleep.
I am the first breath of the morning.
I am the goose-bumps,
I am the sweat.
I am the most romantic thing I've yet to do.
I am the thoughts uncontrollable.
I am the raised eyebrow.
I am the teardrop tracing the contours of my face.
I am the laughter, the uncensored laughter.
I am the mistakes I've made, and the lessons I've learned.
I am the success.
I am the failure.
I am the ambition,
I am the apathy.
I am the opposites inside me.
I am the trembling anticipation.
I am the love I take.
I am the compassion.
I am the underestimation I receive.
I am the focus I always lose.
I am the memories.
I am the stolen breath and the skipped heartbeat.
I am the worry.
I am the calm.

I am the smile.
I am the freedom,
I am the dependence.
I am the broken heart.
I am the misplaced trust.
I am the confidence, but I am the insecurity.
I am the faith.
I am the logical next step.
I am the places I've seen.
I am the perfect guy for someone.
I am the first hello with who she will be.
I am the first kiss.
I am the first fight.
I am the shared dreams.
I am the beating of my heart.
I am the infinite space between today and tomorrow.
I am the last straw.
I am the confusion.
I am the incompatibility.
I am the comfortable silence.
I am the wink.
I am the thought in the back of my mind.
I am the first star I wish on.
I am the aching. I am the poetry I write.
I am the uncertainty of who it is for.
I am the relief, the sweet relief.
I am the shadows across my face.
I am the peace.
I am the lack.
I am the happiness I am surrounded by.
I am the man I'm becoming.
I am the girl I used to be.
I am the whole, but I am the pieces.
I am the pieces.
