i am.

i am a well informed civilian.
i am in love with a phantom.
i am a writer of letters.
i am a wearer of his flannels.
i am someone who has patience with those who don't understand.
i am one who knows it could be worse.
i am one who holds her tongue.
i am a fitful sleeper.
i am a runner.
i am sometimes too quick to say what i really think.
i am a believer in multiple locks and door stoppers.
i am always counting down.
i am...

i am the daughter of a king who is not moved by the world.
for my God is with me and goes before me.
i do not fear because i am His.

i am more than this empty bed.
