My Mind is Who I Am
  I am from my Choices in life;
  Learning from the pain and the joy.
  I am from taking things for Granted;
  Only to learn later I need them more than they need me, left to climb from the holes I dug
  I am from mistakes;
  Regretting things I’ve done, feeling the embarrassment claw at me like a lashing tiger.
  I am from Passion;
  Letting my emotions live through me like an inner demon breaking surface.
  I am from Love;
  Unconditionally forgiving those who hurt me
  I am from Loyalty;
  Never abandoning brothers and loved ones
  I am from Hate;
  Seeing the world in red, letting it build inside until not even hell could contain it.
  I am from Revenge;
  Plotting how I can do to those what they have done to me, dragging them to the same abyss.
  I am from Freud’s Id;
  Letting primitive thoughts overtake, creating something monstrous and vile.
  I am from Serenity;
  Appreciating the bright reds and orange of the morning sun to the blues of the moon.
  I am from Curiosity;
  Seeking the answers from around me like a scholar in a library.
  I am from Ideals;
  Finding the best way to achieve what needs to be done.
  I am from Planning;
  Thinking of the future and who things affect, protecting myself and others.
  I am from Brotherhood;
  Staying true to my brothers in arms, fighting each other's battles as one
  I am from Thought;
  Fearing the consequences and pain of all choices presented to me
  I am from the Borderline of insanity;
  On the edge of good and evil, of a jumbled mind about to explode.
  I am from Society;
  Torn between values and the norm, between what I want and what is accepted.
  I am from Me;
  Collective goods and evils, fighting for dominance.
