sometimes

sometimes i wonder where the person i thought i'd be when i grew up went
sometimes i marvel at the woman i've become

sometimes i wonder why the world has so much hurt and sadness
sometimes i sit and marvel at the many blessings that surround me

sometimes i feel overwhelmed, out of place, swallowed up
sometimes i feel like i'm on top of the tallest mountain and no one can get me down

sometimes i want to run and hide
sometimes i want to jump right in

sometimes i feel lonely and all alone
sometimes i feel peace and strength

sometimes i recoil at all the evil and darkness in the world
sometimes i am surprised by kindness and generosity

sometimes i am scared and uncertain of my future
but all the time i am loved
