I Am

I am your friends, family and loved ones

I am the strangers you pass by

I am everything around you

And yet you don't want me

I have never felt so insecure when I am with you

I am precious and beautiful

I am everything you need

And yet you don't want me

I am the blood that courses through your veins

I am every breath that you take

I am everything you are

And yet you don't want me

The pain that I bring breeds triumph

I am cherished and loved

I am everything there is

And yet you don't want me

Haven't you heard the cliche? Don't take me for granted

I am a blessing, a true gift

I am life.

And yet, you don't want me.
