Chris Warren Smith

Being who I am

I have succeeded in being who I am.
Good and bad.
But what about loving who I am?
The right and the wrong.
Accepting who I am?
The true and the false.
Forgiving who I am?
The blessed and the forsaken.
Preserving who I am?
The remembered and the forgotten.

(2014)

I dedicate this to my father who inspired it.

#Bad #False #Good #Right #True #Wrong
