I Am

[write_me_a_life]

I am
no child
no answer to a prayer
no genius
no revolutionary
no timeless beauty
no Buddha, Christ or Muhammad

I am
not waiting for you
not abandoning life
not ruining yours
not capitalizing on grief
not bored with love
not giving in

I am
living
my
own
life
the
way
I
choose
to
live
it.
