i am the sliver of the moon (quick on the heels of midnight)
i am light, soft touches (of lips brushing flesh)
i am an emerging butterfly (peeking out of its cocoon and pulling quickly back inside)
i am the rush of air through my own lips (and the heartache that comes with so many losses)
i am an aching pain (that is inflicted upon one's self)
i am art (that yearns to be expressed)
i am bitterness and resentment (and so much more than this)

i am everything you understand (but only what I show you)
