Written the 27th July 2021

I am just average

as normal as can be

There is absolutely nothing

Unique or special about me

But what I am is determined

to get it all out

The rage, the anger

the crushing doubt

Because maybe just

if I can purge my soul

It’s true what people say

I’ll start to feel more whole

If I own my own truth

no matter what others say

Maybe I’ll be the one

who gets to walk away

With a heart filled with courage

a soul that can be real

I’ll blossom into a person

who can authentically feel

I will value all my parts

 as varied as they be

Grateful for their roles

In making up me

I’ll be someone able

To hold out my hand and help

 confident in the knowledge

I first helped myself

No longer wondering and pining

Where can he be?

This person

 This man

Destined to love me

Grateful for those days

 when things seem to flow

For the lessons that come

Each day as I grow

No longer sitting on the sideline

Waiting for life to start

Facing my fears

With an open and loving heart
