I AM by me (1-3-01)
I am an ever-changing contradiction.
I wonder what will happen when I am not young.
I hear soft whispers of the soul.
I see the beauty of life that others overlook.
I just want to be liked, but
I don't always like myself.
I am an ever-changing contradiction.
I pretend that I have all the confidence in the world.
I feel like I have none.
I touch a piece of heaven when I pray.
I worry about what others think of me.
I cry over the cruelness of mankind, yet
I find that all too often I just don't care.
I am an ever-changing contradiction.
I understand that not everyone will like the way I am.
I believe that true beauty is from within.
I dream of living in lands far away.
I try to stop and enjoy the little things in life.
I hope to one day find my place in life, but
I often wonder if I will.
I am an ever-changing contradiction.
