Just Am
Not a Christian
Or an Atheist
Not a republican
Or a liberal
Not important
Or insignificant
Not a child
Or a man
Not accomplished
But not nothing
Not fire
Or ice
Not earth
Or Wind
Not a romantic
Or practical
Not an intellect
Or stupid
Not passionate
Or dead
Not confident
Or insecure
Not talented
Or useless
Not the oldest child in my family
Or the youngest
Always
Somewhere
In the middle
Somewhere between two definite points
A bluebird high the sky
A wind that shakes the trees
A summer storm
A dying leaf
An empty pair of shoes
I just am
And that is good enough for me
-C.H.
