Poem - "I am"
I break my bread with noble creatures
I can tell them from the rest
I'll stop a bullet for my comrades
Take it right into the chest
I'll take a flower to a lady
Though I do not know her name
I take passion as my ally
All the heady smoke and flame
I'm one tiny speck of life
A lonely broken piece
And a lord unto my castle
Gentle as I speak
I will love till it hurts, I will live like a king
oh what life brings
I find truth in simple pleasure
Though I sometimes jump the edge
I make decisions for the moment
So it's less to fill my head
I'm a pervert with no pretense
and my soul around my neck
I'm a joker with no instruction
so you better hit the deck
I will love till it hurts, I will live like a king
oh what life brings
I am kind to total strangers
And the frowns that they may bring
I don't know all the answers
But when in doubt I sing
I am fragile as a wine glass
And as strong as Samurai Steel
I will tell you what I'm thinking
But rely on what I feel.
