I Am

by Bilal Berthony
AKA Brooklyn Poet



I remember things
that never happened.
I see things
that don’t exist.
I’m the sanest person
also the craziest

I scream at the top of my lungs
without making a sound
I’m the gamut of emotions
encased in supple brown

I illustrate with words
more precious than diamonds 
more precious than pearls
I’m a painter of universes
so you can read between my worlds.

I am.......
            a writer.
