[bodytext] => I am who I am, And that is what I will always be, I'm quiet, hurt, and empty, I'm a missing button on a coat, A smile slowly fading, A fire in the pouring rain, A mid spring melting snowflake, I'm a disaster waiting to strike, I'm an overturned ship spilling its guts into the sea, A tattered flag in the dying glory, A conductor on a train moving slowly with a distant destination, An anomaly among the anomalies, I'm a kite in a hurricane, A broken trolley in an abandoned town, A dime under the sofa, A piece of nothing - A piece of everything, I'm a dime among nickels under the sofa, A broken trolley to be restored in a historic town, A kite flying through the open winds, I'm an anomaly among the anomalies and damn proud of it, A conductor on a train who knows life is not about the destination, but the journey that takes you there, A tattered flag that can be sewed in the dying glory that can be mended, I'm an overturned ship sharing all that it has to share with the world, I'm a disaster that can be prevented, A mid spring melting snowflake basking in the sun, A fire in the pouring rain that never extinguishes, A smile slowly returning, I'm a button that broke free, I'm listening, healing, and empty, ready to be filled, I am who I am, And that is what I will always be.
