We Are

By Mark vonAppen

We know who we are, do you?

We live for the fight, the sting of heat on our skin.

We are edgy.

We are confrontational.

We push the limits as we pull others along.

We are those for whom good enough isn't good enough.

We are never satisfied.

We do as we are told, but not only as we are told.

We are moody.

We are complicated.

We are committed.

We are dirty.

We are relentless.

We are those for whom good enough simply isn't good enough.  To some we are frightening.

We are individual.

We are team.

We are teachers.

We are students.

We are questions.

We are answers.

We are fighters.

We are survivors.

We are who we claim to be.

We are dauntless.

We are brothers.

We are sisters.

We are real.
