I am, yet I am not

Who am I?

I am, yet I am not

I am here, yet I am nowhere

I am strong in the weakest of ways.

I love deeply but never learned to love myself.

I am kind yet I can be so mean.

I am me but also someone else.

I am a little bit black, a little white.

I am finding my way but yet am lost.

I am a mystery that’s too easy to solve.

I hide in the shadows in the sunlight of the day.

I belong nowhere yet everywhere.

I am angry in the happiest way.

I want to be held while pushing away.

I am a force… like a soft blanket.

I am in hiding in the wide open.

I am tough but also scared.

I am sad wrapped in happy.

I am a strong coffee weakened by a kiss.

I am off the wall softened by a touch.

I am too much or very little.

I am the smile that cries.

I am the laughter that dreams.

I am just me.
