I Am

I Am

Because I have a right to it.

I am beautiful

Intelligent

Adventurous

Alluring

Flirtatious

Beaten

Broken

And brilliant.

And you have never known anyone

Quite like me.

I am a challenge

A frustration,

A desire

And a need.

Not a mystery

But every day,

Something new.

Surprising.

I am consuming.

I can hold your secrets.

You want mine.

Under these old jeans

I am exquisite.

Exceptional

Twisted

Talented

And satisfying.

I am pleasure

I am poetry

Slim

Lithe

Luscious

And sure.

I am danger

And delight

Thrilling.

I am tenacious

Vivacious,

Decidedly desirable,

And frightening.

I am temptation

Elation

And expectation.

I am not deception

I am perfection.

I am every warning in your head,

Everything that tells you to run

But never which direction.

I am rash

And unrestrained,

Risky

And real

And that is every bit the reason

That you feel the way you feel.
