I
Please allow me to introduce myself....
I am sickness; I am health.
I am poverty; I am wealth.
If you didn't hear me coming,
its because my name is stealth.
I am indifference; I'm concern.
I am stupid, so eager to learn.
I am ice and my touch, it burns.
I am love and I am hate.
I am crooked, standing straight.
Ten minutes early, I'm always late.
I am your destiny, also your fate.
I am joy and I am pain.
My smile is sunshine;
My tears, the rain.
I can't go on, yet I sustain.
It is I on whom you place the blame.
I am righteous; I am wrong.
I am short but all too long.
I am forgiveness;
I am sin.
I am loss and still, I win
I'm obesity, deathly thin.
Only to be ousted,
I manage to get in.
I am your weeping heart when you force your face to grin.
It is only where I start, that brother you begin.
I'm with lonely husbands
and all those crying wives.
Will shout to end the violence
but still conceal a knife.
I am with the poor man
in his eternal strife.
I implore you; Introduce yourself!
I, my friend, am life.
I am sickness; I am health.
I am poverty; I am wealth.
If you didn't hear me coming,
its because my name is stealth.
I am indifference; I'm concern.
I am stupid, so eager to learn.
I am ice and my touch, it burns.
I am love and I am hate.
I am crooked, standing straight.
Ten minutes early, I'm always late.
I am your destiny, also your fate.
I am joy and I am pain.
My smile is sunshine;
My tears, the rain.
I can't go on, yet I sustain.
It is I on whom you place the blame.
I am righteous; I am wrong.
I am short but all too long.
I am forgiveness;
I am sin.
I am loss and still, I win
I'm obesity, deathly thin.
Only to be ousted,
I manage to get in.
I am your weeping heart when you force your face to grin.
It is only where I start, that brother you begin.
I'm with lonely husbands
and all those crying wives.
Will shout to end the violence
but still conceal a knife.
I am with the poor man
in his eternal strife.
I implore you; Introduce yourself!
I, my friend, am life.
