I am Who I am

A poem that shows how everyone is unique, that life is full of possibilities if you only dare to look, that to be different is to truely live, and that normalcy is dull.

I am who I am and I'll be who I'll be, and nothing can compare to the feeling of being free
As a bird soaring through the sky
Caught in the hourglass of time
Encircled by love and peirced by doubt
I'll travel through twilight eternal
To find adventure and wonder
Beyond each new bend on a road untraveled
And I'll make my on path in the world of destiny
And find my own way to the sea
Where memory collides with dreams
And nightmares bloom upon each thought
I'll dance through the world on feather-light feet
Sure to leave my footprint on the floor  of eternity
And I'll write my story on the blank pages of life's book
Drink from the water of immortality
And find my way to the lost treasures of the world
Caught in everlasting vanilla dawn
And I'll pass through each dark place and find sunshine
Taste the sugar sweet flavor of ecstasy on my tongue
And lose myself in that vortex of laughter
I'll play in the rain without a care in the world 
And discover myself in all my travels
My own personal wonderland hidden in the depths of my mind
I'll fight my way free from the clutches of insanity
Breaking through the surface of that dreamland world we're all caught in
And entangle myself so deeply into the scents and sounds and sights and feelings of imagination that I'll never be pried free
Escaping from reality and weaving my way within that secret realm
Where fantasy is alive and truth rings beyond the snares of those darkhearted lies
Caught in the breezes of breathtaking bewonderment,
 I'll fly beyond your expectations and paint with the colors of the wind
I'll show you the secrets of angels,
And maybe when I'm done you'll find me again
Asleep on my own silver-lined cloud among my blossoms of success
Breathing to the rhythm of the ocean
Living to the heartbeat of the earth
And I'll slip away with grace, brushing past your fingertips and lifting up once again on a wave of possibility that carries me away until I'm gone
And you've lost me again
To that ethereal and fantastical world that you'll never be part of
You are who you are and you'll be who you'll be
But nothing can compare to the feeling of being free
