Who am I?

I am

A work in progress

A collection of contradictions

Cognitive dissonance personified

Aching to express

Stifled by halting tongue

Trembling hands

I am

A little better

And sometimes worse

A little kinder

Yet so very selfish

A softening heart

A repentant soul

A troubled mind

I am

A hesitant child

A blind follower

Tentatively reaching out my hand

Afraid of touching nothing

I am

A little slow on the uptake

The tryer of patience

Stumbling and mumbling

Grieving and grasping

Learning to be loved

Maybe to love
