what makes me

i love that i am
a bit of both
a little of neither
a touch of the other
a sprinkling of the same
and that’s what makes me, me

diving under traditions
floating above rituals
embracing what is needed
discarding, ignoring the undesired

through the emptiness of memory
the reality of wishes
illusory prayers

lingering connections
fade over time
words slip into silence
mind turns meditative
all that i’ve gathered,
dispersed

and yet i remain me
