Who are you......

if you've ever wondered what cartoon i most identify with, it's alice in wonderland. One of my favorite parts is the caterpillar who is smoking hookah, blowing smoke rings at alice wondering who she is....

this is for alice and all the lost boys and everyone who's still searching....

I am
The opposite of put together
flawed. ripped jeans
stains on my shirt.
from spilling as i laugh too hard
i probably have something on my face

I am a deep wrinkle on my forehead
from a furrowed brow
of figuring things out myself.

I am a story reteller
with a flair for the dramatic
with hand gestures for days

i am a heart in search of what makes
my pulse beat deep within me.

i am a soul who longs for justice and peace
and heaven on earth.

I am an only child
grasping for things
that make me part something bigger

i am an empty hand
waiting for someone to grab it
and keep it safe
and not let go.

I am a train wreck
trying to figure out this life
thing with out a map

i am funny
because i'm not pretty

i am equal parts
heart broken and hopeful

I am...a believer
in Jesus and love
and being part of something  beautiful

I am attitude and concern
and desire to learn and make things better

i am lots of failures and mistakes
i am second chances and
hand holding and hugs when there are no words

I am willing
i am able
and waiting to be called.

I am a soft heart
fragile with my feelings
just wanting people to like me
and love me
and say i'm amazing.

i haven't heard that last part in awhile

and i'm staring to think i lost my sparkle.
