I am(Challenge)

I am an ocean.
Although emotions flow in and out of me,
I remain essentially the same:
Sweet and loving.

I am a tree.
Branches reaching out to people,
Reaching for acceptance and love.
Reaching for understanding.

I am a book.
Many will not look beyond the front cover,
But for those who do there awaits a magic.
The magic of love, unconditional.

I am a piece of paper.
I have been stepped on and crumpled up,
But my friends ironed out the creases of pain.
I wait to be full of the writings of life.

I am a star.
I burst myself trying to shine my light
Into the lives of others.
My light will live on in the Heavens when I die.

I am me.
I am a unique creation,
Crafted to perfection by the Lord.
I will ever stand proud.

This is so great Lizzy! The way you picked a perfect assembly of words to describe your very being--it's wonderful. Great Work! ~~Jamie

"I keep breaking all the promises
That I keep making to myself
You'd think by now that I'd be over this
Instead I'm feeling sorry for myself
So why does everything seem desperate now?
I should be feeling so alive
But it feels like something's missing
Something's wrong somehow
It feels like something deep inside has died..."
