Infinite Possibilities (The Failure to Define Me)

About This Poem

One of my favorite expressions is "Do You Boo!" I tell folks that all of the time and I mean it. As long as you're not hurting anyone else or impeding their life progress, then, by all means, DO YOU! Be true to yourself even when others don't get you.
I could have used more palatable words or phrases like “unique”, “different”, or “dance to the beat of my own drum”. I chose the word “crazy” because it is often assigned to people or ideas that others don't understand. It's easier for some to diminish other people's individuality rather than exploring or embracing their own.
You are the only YOU that God has ever created! You are the only one who is capable of living your life and pursuing your hopes and dreams. Everyone doesn't have to understand who or what you are. There are times when you may not even understand yourself and that's OK. We aren't meant to be static. It's natural that we grow and change. 
So, do YOU and enjoy it!

Infinite Possibilities (The Failure to Define Me)

There is a failure to define me.

Let them call me crazy
  if crazy allows me to be everything
  that my faith qualifies.
I seek places beyond my brief imagination.
Open your mind to gather God’s wonders.

Let them call me crazy
  if crazy leads me to find happiness
  where others fail to look.
The weak seed cannot grow to potential
  without a different way to love it.
Experience God’s boundless wisdom and mercy.

Let them call me crazy
  if I get a little angry sometimes
  that my goals are reachable 
  yet I have not attained them,
  that I don’t measure up to my own worth,
  and I would rather die trying 
  than to live settling
  for the world’s offer.
Understand the absoluteness of God.

Let them call me crazy
  when they cannot comprehend this place 
  that I have actualized-
  my own world,
   centered around God

Thirsty I searched. 
Undeniably, I found.
Fathom my testimony.

Let them call me crazy
  if crazy allows me to call on God
  endlessly and without shame,
  now more often to praise Him
  when I call His name.

God is the same
  In trouble and in joy.
And I am justified.
Because of Him,

  explore my infinite possibilities.

    I want to help uplift, inspire and empower others and to help leave the world a little better than I found it. I am an author, deep thinker & optimist. I know God is love. I am the author of "Candidreams: I Remember the Beginning" and "Role Reversal: Turn Pain Into Power".
    It is never my intent to push my spiritual views on others. I'm just sharing some of my own story in hopes that you or someone else will gain from it and can find some strength and hope in it.  As I am fond of saying:  I'm just giving you a little personal information and insight. What you do with it is completely up to you!
