Wonderfully you

Do you ever
sit and stare?
Watching the people walking around you
acutely aware

of how you aren't them
and can never be
and in that thought
you're somehow free

and torn
this instant thorn
to stab and twist
why?

I wish...

and an onslaught of thoughts
this perception has brought

to be like the ones I see
but only then I wouldn't be me

I might not like the crowd
to be the center
to be so loud
but in that quiet I can be
exactly who I was meant to be

to talk to the one who feels left out
or the one who likes to scream and shout
but deep down feels some serious things
that's what my personality brings

and so to be as I see and not as I am
would make me utterly
an unhappy scam

caught in a lie
that this life would sell
no more my heart of this love would tell

the one who has captured me
heart and soul
and in my saying yes
has redeemed and freed and made me whole

But
it is plain and simple
an absolute fact
I am me
and so long as I'm pushing the limits
and reaching each one
then my work is done,
Son! (threw that in for fun!)

Hope you realize how wonderful you are and how much God loves you for you! You can always be a better you but you can never be someone else.

You are perfectly and wonderfully made.
