I have hopes, dreams.
I have a heart and a soul.
I have hands that hurt.
I have eyes that see.
I am me.
I am now.
I am then.
I am when.
I am not my past.
I am not my future.
I am not my mistakes.
I am not my transgressions.
I am a human being.
I am a writer.
I am a father.
I am here.
I bleed.
I piss.
I shit.
I regret.
I crave laughter.
I want love.
I need the world.
I must be me.
