The Many Sides of Me

I’m at peace, but not fulfilled

Confident, but unaccomplished

Driven, but unaware to where

Grateful, but still determined

I’m not lonely, but I am alone

Not without love, but still not in love

Not without gifts, but what good are they without giving

Not without friends, but most are far away

I am not young, but not old

Not frail, but very careful

Not aloof, but a recluse 

Not religious, but not atheist

I am lucky, but not always

Eccentric, but not narcissistic

Liberal, but not gullible

Kind, but not always to myself   

I am not perfect, nor pure

Nor the worst one here

The best I can be is to simply be me

And better the faults that I do see
