Perspective

I am the red stripe,
I am the green amid the blues,
I am the early morning hue,
I am your life and death,
That early birth and final rest,
I am the slurred words and stumbled step,
The blade of grass from the height you leapt,
Today, tomorrow and yesterday,
Monday, Wednesday and all the other days,
I am the toy you dare not touch,
The closet monster you feared so much,
Inside your head, outside your hands,
I am the one playing the tune in your marching band,
My slow caress, simple dab,
My boiling whispers, never drab,
Piercing eyes and forked tongue,
I am the one, the one, the one who won,
Above the ground and below my own earth,
I am the dark pattern upon the hearth,
Firelight dwindled as I do not,
I am the burning embers the inferno shot,
A volcano, a monsoon with tidal wave,
I am the last person you tried to save,
Carrying in and carrying out,
I am definitely the one who did never shout,
I am the one who doesn’t want for this and long for that,
I surely never would trade tit for tat,
I am the one who wrote the labels on your shirt,
I am the one your judgements never hurt,
I’ve got me and you can keep you,
For I am the one, the only one who.
