I Am.

I am...
I am the figure
Embraced by night.
I am the creature,
That bringer of fright.
I am the eyes
Of the accused.
I am the soul
Of the abused.

I am...
I am the demon
That lays in wait,
Never shifting,
Yet swayed by fate.
I am the girl
That's locked inside,
The little child
With ancient eyes.

I am...
I am the one
Locked in the room.
Wrapped in darkness,
Befriending gloom.
I am the soul
Who will stand;
Stay stonger than
I ever planned.

I am...
I am the woman-
Though not yet...
The one to place
The final bet.
I am the youth,
So downtrod,
Who will defy
All the odds.

I am...
I am alive.
I am...
