I AM

by | Apr 2, 2015 | Writing

If I could be anything for someone,
I would be everything and nothing.
For I will give my heart and move the world,
when I could and I would stand back,
encourage and applaud when I should.

I have learned that I can only be
what I am; I often fail to know the difference
between holding on and holding back
I do both when I should do neither

I love deeply
forgive too easily
and find my heart broken often
Yet, I choose not change

It is easy to give your heart to the wrong person
because you believe they are the right one
when you want them to be that person
reflected in a rose-tinted view of the world

This is not a character flaw
This is not a reason to change
Find strength in it
Acceptance; for this is what I am
