I remember when a mere month would go by
and I would see, feel, grow so much
I measured my age in weeks instead of years
as I tried to live 100 moments all in one day
and wade through a raging river of 100 emotions
that swirled around me every hour
I remember when I used to soar so high
my feet never touched the ground
and I flew round the earth 100 km faster
than it spun on its axis
and I thought I would never come down
I remember how natural the transition seemed:
from sharing my doll, crayon, candy, lunch
to sharing now my cigarette, joint, pill, line
I remember when all hugs were sincere
all kisses said "I love you"
and all friendships were going to last forever
I remember seeing my only soulmate in a stranger
rather than only a stranger in my soulmate...
I have loved life and cursed life
all in the same breath
I have visited heaven and hell
in the same twenty-four hours
I have experienced more reality in fantasy
and learned more about myself and life
during a five-hour E-high
than in all my previous years on this planet
in every book I read in school
and in every moment I spent in church
I have lived 100 lives all in a few short years
and wrote furiously as I tried to
immortalize each one on paper
I have almost died trying to feel alive
and I have realized the fall is worth the flight
but only for so long
I have tried just as hard to die as to live
but somehow life never let me go...
I am 100 people all in one body
as I have taken a piece of
every person who has ever touched my life
and given a piece of myself
back in return
I am the same person I have always been
with 100 little adjustments
and 100 more to go
I am a perfect imperfection
I am my own work of art
I am a bitch, a whore, a junkie
a disobedient daughter, a disloyal girlfriend
I am whoever you think you see
I am whoever I think I see
I am 100 moments in 100 people
living 100 lives all in one
I am a poet, an artist, a writer
a raver, a friend, a lover, a fighter
and no one, nothing, enslaves me but me
I am as free as I let myself be
