I am an intricate and passionate being.
I wonder what it's like to soar on the wind as a bird.
I hear the voice of my conscience as it guides me through life.
I see love and beauty in a world full of hate and ugliness.
I want people to accept me for who I am and know that who I am is good.
I am an intricate and passionate being.

I pretend to be strong when I feel weak and helpless.
I feel as infinite as space or time.
I touch gently in an effort to hold to me.
I worry that I have not been the best of who I can be.
I cry when others hurt.
I am an intricate and passionate being.

I understand that perfection is variable.
I say that to be who one is meant to be entails loving all of creation.
I dream in bright tones and loud emotions.
I try to be all that I am in a world that insists I be who they want.
I hope that the pain of life will be replaced with peace.
I am an intricate and passionate being.

Challenge well met.     Thankyou for sharing it with all of us.  You do sound like a really wonderful person.  

 I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell.

Hi Child

Nice to see you again.

I like this poem,I'm not very good at challenges,I don't think I'm disiplined enough for them.
You however seem brilliant at them.

Actually you could be writing this for me.

It hits the mark many times.

best wishes

Jon

Thank you Alicia, Patricianne, Joy, Angel and Jon.  This was actually a difficult challenge until I let myself go and simply wrote the first thing that came to mind for each statement.  It is a great way to "dig" into who you are.
