I am a girl, since in my soul I know no better, of curious notions:
I take storms in teacups
I collect them, and channel them into whirlpools
When my soul can no longer take the ups
And downs, when I no longer possess the tools
To build a façade, or can no longer hold them
I accumulate the dust from molehills
And make them into volcanoes, from which stem
And flow the plumes of fumes and spills
Of my lava anger.
And if my spirit intellect were stronger,
I would not bottle my emotions.
Anyone else like that?

The Insignificance of motherhood plagued through an orphans hope
Toying with insecurities, yet to show
And as wild hearts have shown, love is all we've owned
But never given or showered upon others we know
And as riches grow, the failures to love have risen to show
A father without a road, a mother we should have known
But !!
For what worth is it
In placing voids within a ship
To only carry as burdens the way to home as we see fit.

Did I
Provide the cause
With all my flaws
To take ownership
For these faults

I act like I can
You know about all my faults
Do not care I can't
I wish I saw myself the way you see me

As the chilled breeze wisps across my covered face
I think about the life I've led and wonder
I wonder if somewhere along the path I wronged anyone
Anyone that crossed that path
Anyone that bid me hello or goodbye
Anyone that could have or should have made a difference

Not at all sure why this particular moment and this particular wispy wind has brought such thoughts to my senses
All I know is that thinking so deeply gives birth to the heightened awareness of my faults and weaknesses
What to do
What to do

When I excuse
my faults
I lose the opportunity
to improve myself.

When I accept
my faults
and evaluate my self
I can then
improve my self
towards the wisdom and virtue
I need
to achieve optimal joy and happiness.

People
Are particularly
Narrow-minded
Prideful
Impatient.

I cannot say
I am not the same things
At times.

If everyone was judged
Good or bad
By the amount of faults we had
We would all
Be thought to be terrible.

So
If one must judge
Don’t judge how many faults
Every person has many
But instead
Please judge if they try
To be better or not.

You may read this
And think
I don’t have that many faults!
You are wrong
Because if you’re reading this
You’re probably not Jesus or God.

You don’t have to be defensive anyway
Because a type of person
Is not accurately judged
By the amount of faults
But instead
The amount of redeeming qualities.
