I Am: Beyond Expectations

I'm not the heroin in gleaming white,

Nor a fix to cleanse your plight.

Not a mere source of fleeting fun,

Nor the one to blame when all is done.

I'm the calm in your stormy sea,

The balm that sets your worries free.

I'm wild, untamed, won't be confined,

In every chaos, your peace you'll find.

I stand with you when times get tough,

Even when the path is rough.

Beyond the roles you think I play,

I am more, in every way.
