I am a sponge Absorbing everything Filled to capacity But I am shrinking Ingesting the poisons Of a toxic society
I am a mirror Reflecting an image Of the world you want to see But I am broken And all that's left Are fragments of a tragedy
I am a balloon Inflated with hope Of those who believe But I am leaking There's a gap in logic And dreams are depleting
I am a door Open to change Occurring; inevitably But I am closing Following the minds Of those who were meant to lead
I am a bridge Forever linking enemies And bringing a peace But I am crumbling Into the ever-growing void Between honor and sanity
I am a cup Full to the brim With expectant promises But I am overflowing, Each empty promise left unfulfilled And trust a mere fantasy
I am a generation Handed the future For all posterity But I am underachieving Disillusioned by a world In desperate need of saving
I am we
I Am... • Opuss № I
