PERSON Poem: Who Am I, by Dax Kvaal

I am a mosaic of everyone I have ever loved
Every story I have ever told
Every time I flew like a dove
Every time I held fast against the cold
Every time I just was someone
Every time I was so bold

I am the tiles of forgotten faces
Every smile I gave to the universe
Every time I cried in silent places
Every time I watched my heart disperse
Every time I fought until the sun blazes
Every time I broke my own self worth

I am undefined
Every note leading nowhere
Every time I was carried on by time
Every time I fought to care
Every time I reached for a hidden rhyme
Every time I was just dramatic flair

I am a painting by a thousand different painters
Every hope and fear cascading
Every time I didn’t fit within a container
Every time I felt hope disintegrating
Every time I was the entertainer
Every time I let tears out when it’s raining

I am every chip and every crack on my glass skeleton
Every fall bound for the ground
Every time I was left so sudden
Every time I stuck around
Every time I had a kiss that meant somethin’
Every time I was lost in the stars and never found

I am every word I have ever written
Every revolution and revelation I have ever heard
Every time I was one in a billion
Every time I was a part of the herd
Every time I left a feeling unwritten
Every time I won and death left me undeterred

I am a thousand and I am one but most of all
I am Dax Kvaal
