Air

I have not been feeling well lately, so I haven’t been much for making new things. I thought I would share something I found as I was flipping through my journal. I think this will continue to be the lesson which God has given me, and I wanted to share it with you.

You once called me Air
And assured it wasn’t meant as offence
But I couldn’t help the hurt
I wanted to be of more substance

Now I’ve been on this journey
Ten years of attempts to be profound
The scenery is looking too familiar
As I realize I’m at the starting ground

The things I’ve tried to be
The costumes I’ve tried to wear
Are starting to have a comic effect
I see people begin to stare

So now I’ve learned my lesson
It’s best to be my own element
And if people find me flighty
Then I should own the testament

Because trying to wear their expectations
Like ballast weighs me down
And I can’t give up this feeling
That I’m meant for higher ground.

Continuing the adventure, 

Jessi

    Thanks for the comment Mike. I understand where you are coming from. It has been a long process of learning that we are all different, all intricate shapes as you put it. The trick is to learn and accept who you are and have the same respect for others.
