i am the child
at once innocent....at once wild
playful joyous and happy
small things make me content
blissfully unaware
of malice or intent
sunshine and blue skies
the first drops of rain
hot food on the table
my lifes quite the fable

i am the teen
caught between worlds
and confusing thoughts and feelings
invincible for a moment
vulnerable the next
thoughts and dreams are many
but it seems just the start of the journey
roads lie ahead unseen and unheard
unexplored and not often ventured
but i have confidence and infinite energy
i will get there u will see

i am the man
living in a twisted world
with ricocheting faiths and multi faced people
through high tides and low
i ferry each day
cutting through odds to get somewhere
better and promising than the present
