I am made up of a collection of parts that create the path I take in this world Sometimes the way gets foggy And my heart floods with waves that have the power to tear it apart I am afraid of what the unknown has to offer I fear I may not be able to counteract the tide My breath is a whirlwind of sensitivity and emotions   My spine is curved, my throat is dry and my immune system never fails to fail me I am surrounded by lights Buildings Homes Roads And fields of wonders My family is the root of my love And my friends are the sun and water keeping me sane I surround myself with people who allow me to love And to be loved I have learned loss in profound ways And experienced heartaches strong enough to move mountains I eat to keep me content And I buy to keep me satisfied The night is my best friend I wake up better at 3am I fall asleep faster at 3pm I like to be alone But not lonely I want to stand out But I don't want to be the centre of attention I write to keep my tears dry And my vision clear I aspire to travel Into places unexplored But sometimes I go too far And I lose sight of who I am I am made up of a collection of parts that create the path I take in this world Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm on the right track My parts are not perfect and I too often succumb to my flaws But I keep tape in my back pocket Slowly pieceing together my purpose in this world I am human I am more than the sum of my parts

A self portrait
I am made up of a collection of parts that create the path I take in this world Sometimes the way gets foggy And my heart floods with waves that have the power to tear it apart I am afraid of what the unknown has to offer I fear I may not be able to counteract the tide My breath is a whirlwind of sensitivity and emotions   My spine is curved, my throat is dry and my immune system never fails to fail me I am surrounded by lights Buildings Homes Roads And fields of wonders My family is the root of my love And my friends are the sun and water keeping me sane I surround myself with people who allow me to love And to be loved I have learned loss in profound ways And experienced heartaches strong enough to move mountains I eat to keep me content And I buy to keep me satisfied The night is my best friend I wake up better at 3am I fall asleep faster at 3pm I like to be alone But not lonely I want to stand out But I don't want to be the centre of attention I write to keep my tears dry And my vision clear I aspire to travel Into places unexplored But sometimes I go too far And I lose sight of who I am I am made up of a collection of parts that create the path I take in this world Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm on the right track My parts are not perfect and I too often succumb to my flaws But I keep tape in my back pocket Slowly pieceing together my purpose in this world I am human I am more than the sum of my parts
