I used to try

To be all things to all people

Now I just tri to be myself

And accept that along the way

Some might feel failed

Some may be left behind

Willingly or otherwise

All I can do

Is my absolute best

And be happy with that

That's my new head space.

Usually

;)

Every step you take - The Police

I was listening to that somewhat creepy song (obsession at its worst)

In the shower

And thinking

That's God

Watching my every step

How could God not

When I carry a god inside of me

In my very soul

How could God not know

All there is to know

And the beauty is

That God loves you

Because of or in spite of everything

If that isn't comforting

I simply don't know what else could be

I'm assuaged by it

But I don't expect the same reaction from everybody

I accept that we all have our own paths to take

Our own realities to live

I chose to relish mine

In all it's unapologetic glory

In all it's messy quagmire
