610. Appreciative Depreciation

I forget I’m human all the time…

That I have a voice,

And a say,

And although things won’t always go my way,

That I can speak out, and have a choice.

I forget I’m human all the time…

Yet, I’ve decided…

It’s okay.

It’s just a human body anyway;

And we’re more than where we’ve resided.

I forget I’m not human sometimes…

That I am a soul,

And not bone,

And it’s normal to feel lost and alone…

As we journey, mere sparks of a whole…

Universe.

454. A-part

I float away…all day…everyday.

I drift away…never stay…never stay…

The same.

I am me…”I agree”…”I agree”…

Yet,…”I disagree…I’m not free to be me…

Fully”.

I want to do…what I want to…see it through;

But, I can not do what I want to…plans fall through…

The cracks.

I am there…everywhere…and no where.

I float in the air of time in despair…neither here nor there…

A piece.

I’m only ever part of me…one me…not every me.

I always find I disagree…with me…and me…and me…

In part.

I can not stay…this way…or that way.

I drift away…never stay…never stay…

The same.
