AWFULLY GOOD
I feel brilliantly terrible at everything I do,
Like I can't hold my own hand for it's reaching out to you.
I can help another in such amazing ways,
But I can't help myself with that strength that I display.
We're all given a task that makes us question why,
It sends a thousand queries to a universal sky,
And the answer then is given, we learn to understand,
But learning always makes us reach to help another hand.
Together we're amazing, there's so much we can do
If we learn to see the terrible and still let light shine through,
For we're masters of creation, but flawed within our time -
Here to be a human but connect to all divine.
It's brilliant but terrible that we hold every key
To manifest a life that has love for you and me,
But neither of us see it until we understand
That it's terrible if brilliance isn't used to plan.
This brilliance we feel is the spirit that flows through -
Moments that we let the love of every heart shine through.
Our story is for growth, always things to learn,
But when we share our brilliance, it glistens up the world.
Keep sharing all your joy from the truth you hold inside,
And I will too keep writing of this controversial life,
Until one day this brilliance will make a world so grand
Where the terrible was lost for we held each other's hand.
Each terrible we feel is societal's denial,
But our terrible is lovable when our brilliance is flying.
When we see as humans, we're failures of the game -
We're terrible, but with your hand in mine we can create.
So yes I can be brilliant, I can be awful too,
For I am just a vessel full of lessons wanting truth,
But on this level we remain until there's solid proof
That brilliance can change the world when one connects through two.
