i am who i am
is it any wonder i prefer hiding inside my sketchbook
over being in a crowd of people who don’t understand?
my lifestyle — a mystery they try to dissect
put me under a microscope all you want
but you won’t get it because you choose not to
i am no slave nor toy to kick around
have my own opinions and voice to be heard
give over control to another, because that is my choice
gain strength and reassurance from my submission
i can be no other way and no other person
who i am, and who i am when i am with Him
is protected and taken care of
loved in ways that may not appeal to most
but they are ways that fulfill and make me whole
pain and discipline needed and desired
just as others need kind words and soft caresses
i need a firm hand and guidance to focus
and when i stumble
there’s comfort in knowing i am not alone
and Someone believes in me
He will pick me up and dust me off
always, tirelessly
so go ahead misunderstand me if you must
but your ignorance will ultimately destroy you
not me
