Um, Thank you. Most of it is about me but it is about what a went through a while back, no reason to pity me.

Madison said: I am the shadow, I am the light.
I am the darkness that surrounds you at night.
I am the lover, fighter, nightmare, and dream.
The unknown, the unwanted. The loved, the hated.
I am the stranger walking the streets,
I am the man who works upstairs.
The misunderstood, the creator, the artist all alone.
The orphan with the family,
The music without sound.
I am the fighter, I am the war.
I am the shelter that closed it’s doors.
I am the cause, the reason, the angel and the demon.
The change in our world
The hate in your heart
The love in your life.
The different girl on the playground
The cheerleader in the crowd
The boy on the stage.
I am the leader, the follower
The sister and the daughter.
I am the vine, grown up the wall…
I am the wall that divided us all.
I am the danger, the chance you take
I am the safety, the smile you fake.
I am the wind blown through the leaves
All around, I am the beauty you see.
I am different, I am the same
I am unique… just. Like. You.
I am the dust in a hot dessert storm
I am the rain ending a drought
I am the tornado,
Slowly taking form.
The disaster, the tragedy
The savoir, and the lost.
I am the forgotten,
The memories caught on film.
You first true love
The tears on your face
The lightning in the sky
The baby bird learning to fly.
I am the rock, and I am the rain.
I am the girl who hides the pain.
I am the traveler, headed east.
I am the boy hiding the beast.
I am the slaves set free…
I am the lock that has no key. ]]>
