Am I?

An excellent student, sure to succeed
Responsible, caring
Am I?

I am water
And I'll take your form
I am not my own

Street trash, red lights
Getto grunge, and criminal inclinations
Am I?

I am water
And I'll take your form
I am not my own

Now those are some VERY cool lines.
Nice job on this.
