is it me?

 

Is it because I threaten your preconceived ideas of me that you shy away?

Does my passion, my openness, my zest for life become too overwhelming?

Do I make you feel uncomfortable when I speak of love, but of an unromantic, unconditional love?

Does it disconcert you when I can see the highest potential in you, even if you can’t?

Do I confuse you when I don’t quite fit into any of the boxes you’ve created for yourself?

Do I make you nervous when I go out my way to seek truth and justice amongst all the lies and corruption in the world?

Does it make you feel uneasy when I expose my vulnerability and imperfections?

And do I make you feel inadequate when I look to you for strength and courage if I’m feeling weak?

Does it trouble you that I have the capacity for forgiveness, however hurtful you may have been?

Do I freak you out with my beliefs; do I push the boundaries of yours?

Do I threaten your very own world that you have created, just by being me?

Do you think because I don’t agree with all that you say, I dislike you?....

……..Because you couldn’t be further from the truth…..
