I think


I think

I think about everything there is to think

I shudder at fears

I cry with my genuine tears

I am fresh out of ideas that I have had through the years

I think about what makes me different and unique

I think what sets me apart

My grace, my words, my love of art

No, it is not one of these things but all

I in myself can find these factors and stand tall

Through the complexity of evolution we came to be

That important God though of us to give us dominion over land

and sea

I think of the destruction we cause to ourselves

For fame, for love, for lust

Its all the same...

But this day I want to make a change

Take the love, and the factors

The hope and the beliefs and

Make a brighter tomorrow that might shine through

 the darkness of someone's today

To be free to say I love myself

Without fear of pretension

Take those factors and love them not hate

them

The compatibility of life that makes us unique finds

its heart enveloped in what we accept and let be.

So cliche are these last words

But I care not

I just want to be me.
