Me

I am who I am
That's who I'm going to be
Take me as I am
Or just let me be

Sometimes I Wonder

Why did it all start?

It makes me wonder

Stopping to think

That I really cannot say

It’s a need in my life

Though foolish to think

This absence that hurts

Like a yearning within

Keep searching for desire

Or stay content as I am

The fool continues to hope

As reality sinks in

I’m starting to choke

Pretending not to care

Knowing I have no control

Yet still won’t give it up

It’s all in God’s timing

So I must try to be

Happy and Joyful

In only just me

Ode to a Palindrome

What's in a name that starts where it ends?
The letters are simplified and reused once again
Start from the beginning or right at the end
Stop in the middle and then go back again

Fears

Good at making excuses

This is what I’ve found

Not others telling me no

Only my doubts that abound

I strive each day to better myself

Working to dismay those fears

Reaching towards my goal

Through hard work, sweat, and tears
