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.
