What I Am

See these feet, they never touch the ground;

I am a wonder in that way.

You asked me what I am, so here it is,

I wonder if i'm still as wonderful as you say.

I'm a lie, but I'm real, a contradiction at best

I'd much rather love, but I'm less than fearless

I float like cotton in the air, but not in the water

Water is heavy and limits press harder

I'd like to be brilliant, but age gets in the way

However different I want, I'm sadly the same

I think like a bird, but I act like a kite

Between the stars and the Earth, the wind holds me tight

The constant relativity haunts me at night

Wrapped up in a box, the truth's only half right

Maybe it's wrong, maybe everyone's wrong here

I'm sure of nothing, nothing but you, dear
