I Am

Im small when im with you
so tall when alone
Im shy when im with you
a force to be reckoned with
alone
In crowds I have wings
I am social
a butterfly
who is
resting
like the branch of a tree
I am generous
in my give
and take
between
I can ease the separation
of the punch
line up
for all your calls
a meaning
that does not make you
feel
small
so
please
be
kind
in
your
blind
efforts
to
act
respect
if
you
haven't
got
the
effort
dont
pretend
effortlessly
the practice
of philosophy
because
I
am more
and less
than
any words you
use
To compare
my words
with
I
am

  1. Beez ... Your words ..'i'm small when i'm with you' ... say great volumes in a few words. Well done.

  2. A good write on the veneer so often worn by many of us. The one seen by others and the one we really are when alone.
