79. Meant To Be

I once heard

That if each person

Was walking through

A field of lives

Different lives you could live,

You would choose your own

The obstacles you have,

Your daily struggles,

All of it.

And id like to believe

Its true.

Some might say

Why?

Why would you choose

To be dumb

Not attractive

Too smart to fit in

But each one

Has purpose.

Being so smart,

You can change the world

Cure cancer

Dig to the earths crust

Find civilization in space

Do the extraordinary thing

That nobody knew

That kid who never fit in

Could ever do.

Not having the greatest

Outer looks,

Is a blessing

The best kind.

It gives you a chance

To be loved

For who you are

And not for your body

And you will know

That you are who you are

Because of what counts.

And not being

The brightest bulb,

I think sometimes,

Maybe that is best of all.

You dont overthink

You dont worry too much

You just live.

You have fun

And you take risks

And you can acheive the impossible

Because you werent afraid

To be reckless.

All of us

Are one of these

And all of these

Different blends of them

And others

And whatever life we are living

Whoever we are,

Its who we are best at

And who we are meant to be.
