Alan Leamey - I Am

I am the greatest sob story ever told
I am the only piece of wisdom never sold
I am not that young or yet too old
I am everything that never broke the mould
I am everything I hate but everything I need
I am a massive oak tree I am a used seed
I am a famous actor declining the lead
I am an open wound refusing to bleed
I am up I am down I am inside out
I am everything this horrid day is about
I am the truth in a world of doubt
I am the face in the crowd rejecting the shout
