I Am Who I Am

I am sensitive, self-conscious, Nervous, listless, anxious, Caught up in the grind of life Its stress and its strife. With no goal, no aim, no purpose, Oh, just living a life I suppose; Not sure there's a God or a soul Or in His grand design my role. Bitter, cynical and regretful, Not wise enough yet not a fool, Jack of all trades, master of none Lost more life's battles than won. A seeker of truth, lost in lies A seeker of love, lost in vice A seeker of faith, lost in funfair A seeker of hope, lost in despair. Mindful of Man's frailty, foible and pet peeve, I grieve for the ancestral sin of Adam and Eve! ~"Who ARE you?" contest by Catie Lindsey
