Indefinitive


I am a child with a gun.
I am a war waiting to happen and a solution in one.
I am the sum of my parents.
I am the best two humans could do to recreate themselves.
I am the buds on bushes,
I am at the break-even point with the rest of my life.
I am the star whose light hasn't reached earth yet.
I am the edge of the known.
I am history's next Hitler, next Ghandi,
I am the orator with a world on her screen.
I am an exothermic reaction.
I am excited particles in an open plane.
I am homeless by choice.
I am a roamer of only the least travelled paths.
I am seventeen, for two more days,
I am a stereotype down to the quiet self-esteem.
I am late nights and early mornings and caffeinated tea,
I am pure potential.
I am purer than the devil, darkly chaste,
I am unmeasurable.
I am more than just the sum of my parents,
I am my own vector.
I am the child with a gun.
I am the war waiting to happen, and the solution,
In one.

  1. The imagery in this one is so concrete, it feels so true.
    "I am buds on bushes" just tastes good to say.
    Those first and last three are so evocative and crisp.
