"I Am Me"

I Am Me So many thoughts. So many storms. So many feelings that seek to undo me. Yet here I sit—in silence— with my thoughts, my tempests, my tides of emotion. I do not run. I do not hide. I turn what is black and dangerous into light— pure and unwavering. My heart beats red, for the blood that courses through it is warm, not cold. It is the pulse of truth. I am no counterfeit. I am real. I am enough. From the shadows of my mind, my chaos, my ache— I rise. I am light. I am the creator of my reality, the ink on the pages of my life. I am the wind of inspiration that stirs the thoughts in my mind and dances with the warmth of my heart. And no matter how many thoughts, how many storms, how many feelings try to say “no”— I am enough. I stand tall in who I am. I own it. Because I am me. - Florencio
