I am a little girl
with many senseless fears.
I am a half-grown woman
who cries with life's cruel tears.
I am a little elf
who frolics in a stream.
I am a fairy maiden
with many broken dreams.
I am a wandering mind
in search of love and care.
I am a simple soul
who must belong somewhere.
I am a roaming spirit
without a destiny.
I am a single person
who drifts eternally.
I am an earth-bound ego,
unleashed - and yet, not free.
I am all of these,
But most of all, I'm me!
Trinka Powers - copr. 1970
