Who Am I?

I am the saviour of the people
Swords are raised and armies swollen and fallen
The masses would die for me
Yet I create the miracles of life
Who am I?
I am Faith.

Worthy is the one who earns me
Betrayed is the one who misplaces
I can be given, and also retracted
I am needed for any relationship
Who am I?
I am Trust.

I am lived, breathed and felt
I can move continents and change the world
But I'm only as powerful as the people
Some call me an illusion, a lie
Who am I?
I am Love.

Sparks fly when I'm around
I ignite the deepest desires
And drive steely determination
I am the son of Love and Trust
Who am I?
I am Passion.

My sparks are from hell
The devil's hands are my mould
Anger is my servant and slave
I blind the heart and poison the soul
Who am I?
I am Jealousy.

Physical hurt is my illusion
I inflict conflict with the utmost of intention
Emotional reformation is evolution
But only if they not drown, but learn to swim
Who am I?
I am Pain.

I am a weight at the ankle
I can be dragged for eternity and never let go
Nobody wants me there
But I am everywhere, in every street
Who am I?
I am Suffering.

I am the most powerful of them all
The most prevalent in unwritten history
I overshadow all of Suffering
I am the will to live
Who am I?
I am Hope.

Everything above is who I am
Everything and so much more
My posibilities have no horizon
My dreams,borderless
I am capable of all things
Yet I can be nothing at all
The world is in my hands to grasp
So what am I waiting for then?
Who am I?

Well, I am Man.
