One, Two, Three
I am a complicated spirit
Yet, I find in all my philosophy
I am more definable than most
I am not ordinary, or boring, or standard
I was built with many colors
I have things that can spark a flame
Resulting in an emotional fire
Yes, my deepest feeling can burn me badly
I feel things more intensely inside
I get quite lost and curious of
Those who don’t seem to feel at all
I can be a million smiles
The most joyous soul you see all day
This happiness is energy in me
Visible to those who come my way
But if my path, in the course of my day
Crosses with something that causes me pain
Inside it hits me like a million blades
Damaging my heart like a hurricane rain
Then there is the side, I keep tucked far away
The side that I protect from anyone but me
It’s sensitive and sweet, but dark and broken
It’s the side that I don’t let anyone see…
That, I feel, is my one, two, three
And even though the energy may shift
I understand the moments I experience
As I believe they are my virtuous gifts.
