I am...

I am weak
I am naive
And I have reason to believe
I have tainted intentions...at times
I feel that much can be said in rhyme, ask "namesake" he'll tell you
but this is just off of feel at the moment so bear with me
back to the topic at hand
I feel that often times I reprimand what at other times I'd promote
I feel that I denounce the outcome of beginnings I provoke
so I have a hard time feeling at ease when I invoke
the One above the throne, out of fear of hypocrisy 
but you see, in that lies the beauty
of His Bounty and Mercy
and as far as beauty is concerned
I find it being adulterated time and time again
with definitions unsuitable for it
I find beauty in fear
and at times I fear beauty
I find beauty in hope 
I find beauty in abstinence
I find beauty in enemies
and I feel often times I try beautifying remedies
which themselves are ugly and serve ugly purposes
I find beauty in courage
what it takes to embody what it right in the face of being denounced
and I'm not talking in front of the "kuffar" I'm talking in front of your peers
out of fear, of what they think
I'm talking in the mirror, the reflection ain't beautiful although I may try beautifying it
I find beauty in patience and I fear time
but I feel this concept is misunderstood because the two don't coincide 
laughter is dangerous, although beautiful
and the same could be said for women if you know what I mean
but the "funny" thing is, same could be said for love
I find beauty in opportunity
which means every morning I wake up is beautiful
I am disgusted by greed
as I am arrogance
I am insignificant and often times I give myself undue significance
I abhor attention
I have an obsession with the dying art called truth
I contemplate life, I look for the signs
and I swear to you they're there if you just open your eyes
I fear my heart
I fear myself
I find beauty in strength
I find it difficult to repent
I am flawed beyond human comprehension
I am human
but the fact of the matter is...
I
am
trying
