The Summertime Mind

"Me."

The Artist, The Lawyer, The Solider, The Vet.

Do you know who I am?

Are you willing to make the bet?

I am not one of grace, but I am not one of fear.

I meet face to face and no light heart sleeps here.

my woes are deep, but my joy is deeper.

I will overcome, because this heavy heart has no keeper.

I see the world through a different light,

and you can't change me, try as you might.

So why is it that none can see,

with all my complexity,

I am simply. just.

Me.
