Karen Da Poet Free verse

I Am Just I Am

If I can only be like the birds, 
   that fly high and free 
If I am a ship, 
I can sail across the widest sea. 
I can reach the sky 
   if I were the clouds, 
But I am just I am 
I can leap, but I can never soar. 

If I control people's mind, 
   then Ican make them all be good. 
If I direct their lives, 
I would never let them fall to sin, 
But they do their own decisions 
   they take their own choices 
And I am just I am 
I don't have the power to steer them my way. 

If I am pain, 
I would love not to exist. 
I would give way to happiness, 
But life isn't simply just like that 
It is like a game 
You win, you lose 
And I am just a part of it. 
I am just I am 
God rules me, controls me 
   and He owns me.
