I am a child of God

I am a child of God.
He gave me my energy
that I am free to use for expression,
even on limited resources.

I have my sense of style.
I have my habits.
And the way that I go about
in the world.
The way I interact with others.
The way I am confident with sunglasses on,
but keep my head down when they're not.

The way I love boys,
and hate girls.
The way I feel inside.
My otherness,
and the sameness 
which I deny.
My ambition,
and my stamina.
My resolve
and my resign.

All the things I was,
and all the things I hope to be.
But not the way I am.
There is only One I Am
As for myself,
I am changing too much
to be anything other than
a child of God.
