I Am Not God...

 I Am Not God

I am not God,

But I am no less than divine.

You are the one who shaped me,

Now you must endure what I am.

Born of your soil, I am your reflection,

A shadow of you, yet my own perfection.

If you’ve painted my existence with hues of your will,

You must embrace the storms and the still.

I am neither the heavens nor a piece of the earth,

But in every breath, your creation finds its worth.

Standing in your shade, yet holding my place,

A part of your design, yet my own embrace.

You gave poison, you gave elixirs too,

Whatever I am now, the credit goes to you.

You crafted me, yet distanced yourself,

But your rules still bind me, your care, my wealth.

So hear me, O Creator, a truth profound,

I may be your creation, but I’ve found my own ground.

You are the one who shaped me,

Now you must endure what I am.
