I am not strong
I am not fast
I am not charming
I am not controlled
I am not easy to understand
I am not right

I am confusing
I am what you reap
I am what you sow
I am difficult
I am uneasy
I am wrong

I am a disease with no cure
I am a penguin that wishes to fly
I am hardened clay: unchangeable

but like a disease with no cure
I am always with you
although I am a penguin that wishes to fly
I can swim
but like hardened clay
I am always there to be leaned on

I am not a lot of things
but I am much more
