For You

I am lucky and I am blessed.
I am allowed at times to call myself best.

I am not too short or not too tall.
I am just about right for anything at all.

I am able to love and able to give.
I am open to be loved and open to live.

I am stupid at times but brighter at most.
I am stupid enough to know when to boast.

I am somewhat inspired yet often I am not.
I am giving each moment all that I've got.

I am growing and I know I'll continue to grow.
I am doing my best to make it a show.

I am not exercising my demons, I wasn't born gifted.
I am doing this for you and for you I stay lifted.

I am a friend to most people and an enemy to few.
I am prone to thinking that everyone's my crew.

I am working toward excellence and not for perfection.
I am dreaming a dream for my dream since conception.

I am a martyr to shame and it may not make sense.
I am what parents might call incredibly dense.

I am your colleague, your co-worker, your friend and your clown.
I am, and always will be, your frown upside-down.
