i am constantly crazy.
i’m truly amazing…
i am happily sailing thru this thing called life.
but i’m never too sure - if i’ll know how to start,
when i’m slowly, losing… a piece of my heart.
i am listening to music that sings to my soul.
i’m feeling for something that makes me… lose control.
i am wondering. and waiting.
but i’m still hesitating.
i am suddenly fearful of unspoken truth.
i am watching for moments.
i am reaching for time.
i am hoping that futures still cross between mine.
i am lovely, yet leaving.
and i’m starting to believe in, something.
(that’s greater than us alone…)
i am dancing and dreaming.
i’m standing outside screaming, to the heavens, on a cool clear night.
i am convinced they can hear me -
but i’m not sure if they’ll steer me, in directions that lead back to you.
i am hopeful and hopeless, yet alarmed that you know this…
i am trying my best to get by.
i’m wishing for insight and look for it - despite,
the fact that it will, inevitably, make me cry.
i am stirred, but not shaken.
i’m both filled and forsaken.
i am breaking it down, one beat at a time.
i am cool and complacent, though my passion’s adjacent
to thunderbolts, rainbursts, and fire.
i am scared… of what’s left to transpire.
i’m manic and moody - unconventional beauty,
is what i see in the eyes of the world.
i’m full of blues… rock… and greens;
purple-pink pop/soul streams, out myself
and they say i’m too much!
more than words, i’m extreme -
i’m intense like my dreams.
wake me up if i’m falling back in….
i’m refreshing like you; yes, you know what to do:
i’m the cannonball diving right in.
(after you… no, you! i insist…)
i’m a weakling who’s strong, with the strength of a week.
i’m habitual in making sweet talkers lose speech.
i’m apparently available, yet seemingly, out of reach?
i’m insufferable.
i’m exciting.
hell, darlin’ i’m inviting, you… toward me.

“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it — I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know — but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me.”—
Virginia Satir (via reluctantbuddha)
