I Know. I Am.
posted: Apr. 09, 2020.
You took away my oxygen.
I found new ways to breathe.
You robbed me of my vision.
I knew how to see.
You filled the airways with deceit.
I refused to listen.
You magnified my flaws.
I knew my perfection.
You told me I was insignificant.
I couldn’t be contained.
You prevented me from walking.
I could fly all the same.
You censored and omitted.
I read between the lines.
You thought that I was fertile soil.
I sequestered and neglected.
You poisoned me.
I was the antidote.
You anesthetized me.
I could still perceive.
You made me a lab rat.
I was an outlier.
You erased all the lyrics.
I was the harmony.
You weakened me.
I strengthened.
You stole pieces of me.
I regenerated.
You turned me into an antenna.
I created interference.
You tried to break me down.
I reintegrated.
You attempted to freeze me.
I was a flame.
You surrounded me with confusion.
I was the Knowing.
You drowned me in chaos.
I was the stillness.
You silenced me.
I spoke in frequencies.
You buried me.
I grew.
You put me in prison.
I was freedom.
You burned the map.
I knew what to do.
You programmed me.
I rewrote the code.
You isolated me.
I connected.
You put me in the darkness.
I was Light.
You excluded me.
I incorporated.
You diluted me.
I concentrated.
You infected me.
I changed it and I became contagious.
You diagnosed me.
I healed.
You left me with no remedy.
I was the cure.
You removed all that was holy.
I was Divinity.
You threatened me with mortality.
I was Infinite.
You kept me from remembering.
I refused to forget.
You showed me all that I wasn’t.
I embodied all that I am.
You used every distraction and every form of deception.
And still,
I Know. I Am.
