I AM

I am love and I am pain I am laughter and I am tears I am spirit and I am flesh I am fire and I am earth I am air and I am water I am the mountains and I am the sea.

I am the child and I am the mother I am the loved and I am the lover I am the seeker and I am being found I am the guide and I am being led I am the warrior and I am the maid I am all and I am nothing I am finally me.

I used to shrink from the pain, The darkness inside How could such a thing exist in my life? As my journey progressed New strength and awareness grew bright And I turned and faced it head on.

I embraced the darkness I embraced the pain I was reborn so much stronger So much more aware I now saw the world In a whole new way.

How amazed was I now Of how much I could feel From deep searing pain To incredible love And still, I would live!
