I am the breath in the cool winter air

I am the screaming from the stands

I am the loud music at the stoplight

I am the greeting between customer and worker

I am the hot sun shooting down on the summer water

I am the condensation resting on the can

I am spectacular


I am not the light in a world full of darkness

I am not the solution to every problem

I am not the shepherd to many sheep

I am not the writer of many books

I am not the artist of many pieces

I am not everything that is wanted of me

I am not perfect
