Nothing But Me

by Jessica Wheeler

I am the constant, quiet voice that's up to you to speak. The obvious and hidden choice behind all that you seek. When shadows weave their sly deceit, from me, you cannot hide. I strive to mend what's incomplete, with honest grace, I guide. I am the whisper, soft yet clear, the one to set you free. At times I may be hard to hear, yet you can count on me. Though fabrications may persist, to bend me at their will, I stand unchanged, for I exist, impossible to kill. A lie will try but can't control what’s true, is what decides. Despite the rumors, I am whole beyond a tale's two sides. Yet there's one vital fact I find, most fail to understand. I'm born of choice, and made in mind, I am what you command. And once alive, I shall remain as absolute as fate. So build me well, I'm yours to gain, I am what you create.
