Not My Better Self

Not My Better Self

I fear and I doubt, and

I just feel so tired,

So weak—too weak,

Too flawed,

Too small,

Too slow,

Too late,

Too afraid, and so

I am not my better self.

But some time I may

Sneak past my small cares and

Find out a new beauty to my life, and

I am grateful again,

And growing.
