I AM (a poem about life)

http://www.digitalpoet.net/poetry.html

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Grande][b]I Am The Swollen Shiner From Life's Sucker Punches,
Bloodied Noses From Left Field Jabs,
The Kidney That Feels The Brunt
When You Get Stabbed
In The Back.

I Am The Intricate Plan
Designed So You Can Only Fail,
The Question With No Right Answer.
I Am The Fighting Chance And Strands Of Hope
That Morally Pull You Through Times Of Disaster.
Sometimes There
Is Distance,
Silence,
No Answer...
And I Am The Truth That Interrupts.
I Am That Pimple You Just Want To
Push, Pop, Pull, Peel, Puncture, Then Watch Puss
I Am Not An Advocate Of Alliteration... Anyways...
I Am Not Deviant
Though I Deviate
A Bit Lenient
Yet I Gravitate
To Harsh Measures When Needed,
I Am Everything You Don't Want Me To Be
When You Don't Need It.

I Am Those Fist Punched Holes In Bedroom Walls
That Paint The Stages Of
Your First Broken Heart In Middle School.
I Am That Child Who Scares Parents
Sneaking Out The Back Door At 16,
Careless,
3 AM,
Bottle Of Jack Daniels
Flying Off The Handles
Of Life
And Landing In Shambles,
I Am Everything Between High And Low,
Sometimes The Hero
A Knight's Mare,
Sometimes The Zero
A Nightmare.

I Am Cut Classes And Smoking Newports In The Woods,
A Sneaky Degenerate
Who Started A Suburban Black Market,
Stolen And Sold Goods
Were Just The First Target.
But I Won't Let This Poem Paint Me Into A Corner,
I Plead The Fifth,
And Most Of Those Dudes Are Goners
A Faded Clique,
I Was Only Part Of Their Network
Because Their Net Worth
Made My Net Work,
But Eventually They Were Just A Band Of Bandits.
I Banned It.

I Am Not The Product Of Bad Parenting,
I Am The Product Of Half Parenting,
I Am The Product Of Not Bad Half Parenting
Being Taken Advantage Of,
Bending Breaking And Damaged Love,
A Sandwich Of
Government Cheese
With Boar's Head Ham,
Squished Between Rye And Wheat,
But Fuck It - I Slam,
I Am,
The Realization
That Nukes Will Not Be Our Finale,
The Solar System Has Plans,
And We See It Through Weather,
Mother Nature Has It In For Us,
We're Damned.

I Am Embarrassment Because I Always Say The Wrong Shit.
Filterless.
My Breath Is Old Cheese
Because I Live With That Foot In My Mouth.
But I Must Speak Out,
I Must Speak Up,
I Must Be Heard So Long As I  Also Listen.
I Am The Words,
Of The Speechless,
The Cries,
Of The Scared,
I Am My Own Voice,
And I Can Be Yours Too.
I Am The One,
Who Can Hold Your Deepest Secrets,
I Won't Reveal Them,
But I May Use Them Against You At Times...
I Am Rhymes
Unsensical
That Sound Intellectual.

I'm The Jeep Fuckin' Wrangler
Of Slam Poetry,
Not Supposed To Be
Clean,
I Am Human Being,
Alien Being,
Extraterrestrial Special,
Inhaling Then Regurgitating Scenes
With A Personal Twist
I Am Cursin'
Just To Bitch.

I Am Wu-Tang Windmill Kicks,
A Little Bit Tool; Vicarious,
Singed By Jada's Kiss,
That Phlegm And Mucus That Eminem Spits,
And If You Dig Real Real Deep,
Like Back To '06,
You Might Even Find
Some Purple Haze From Hendrix' Clips.
I Am The Scenario
That Tribe Didn't Talk About,
But Influenced.

I Am
A Child Of The 80'S,
I Gave Myself To Voltron,
Thundercats Had My Back,
Couldn't Hack It
Without Inspector Gadget,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Fanatic
I Transformered To GI Joe,
Took Over The World Like Pinky And The Brain,
My Real Name,
Is Adam,
If I Was A Prince,
I Would Be He-Man,
But I'm Not,
I'm More Of A Double Agent And A Louse,
Matter Of Fact,
You Can Call Me Danger Mouse.

I Am Slightly More Direct With My Verses,
Than You May Have Heard Before,
This Is More Personal,
So I Let You In On The Ground Floor.
I Tend To Be Less Abstract,
These Aren't Blanket Statements,
They're Hard Facts
That Were Hard Fought,
This Isn't About Theory For Me,
It's Not Even Sentiment Or Opinion,
I Actually Coined It,
It's Censorship Circumcision.
I Say What I've Seen,
What I've Done,
The Dirt,
So I Am Loose Handcuffs,
I Got You,
But It Won't Hurt.

I Am
A Poem About Life,
Because A Poem
Is A Composition,
And Life
Is A Temporary Condition,
And I Am,
Inking This
For The Record
