What I Am

"We are what we repeatedly do; excellence, then, is not an act but a habit" ~Aristotle~

I am many things
Cook, writer, blogger, reader
I fit neatly into boxes
Labeled to fit society
Labeled to be socially correct

Many things I am not
famous, important, wise
Too often I just don't fit
Labeled wrongly
Labeled so as not to offend

What I do is too much
What I do is not enough
I'm good at repeating mistakes
I'm good at doing very little
And thinking that it's enough

I am so many things
I would like to do more
I would like to not fit in
I would love to just fit in
I want to be myself

If only everything I did
was excellent and not half ass
I could be so many things
I could do too much
I could do even more
