i am lotus

i am lotus.
i see. i feel. i express.
a bit funny. a bit serious. a bit disturbing.
always real.

____________________________________
I’ve loved, been loved, hurt and been hurt.

I’ve broken the law, but never been arrested.

I like to laugh, though I often cry.

I think too much about myself, but I care about others.

My faith is always changing, but it is mine, and you cannot have it.

I believe in right and wrong, but also in a vast area of gray.

My mind is sharp, and yet addled with holes and weaknesses.

I multi-task well, but I’m easily distracted.

I eat like a pig, but I’m overly aware of my weight.

I am vain without fail, and yet I am embarrassed of my self-interest.

My life is a swirling sea of inconsistencies. Just like yours.
