It’s “I”

It’s “I”

I am a body of longing,
A lone wolf howling,
Chasing dreams that keep on calling.
A life, a love, a family — yet I don’t owe you anything.

Watch me like the stars dancing.
Honestly, what were you thinking?
Were those fireworks and lightning all you saw shining?
As quickly as they spark, they fade into silence.

Luminous illusions, I still see them hanging,
Yet nothing here is threatening.

Loss …
Ahhh, here comes that word —
It got me singing.

It’s “I.”
You seem to miss the understanding.
I decide the terms and whom I keep beside me.
I decide my choices, my wins, my endings.
