Crooked

I have 
what I like to call
a crooked soul
one that is
a little out of place
and wants to do
odd things
and is shy
to show its true
crooked self

I have seen
a bird with
a crooked wing
I smile at it
feeling an odd
but beatuiful
similarity
between us
it has difficulty
flying happily
and soaring 
normally
and so do I

I have sat
on a crooked branch
proud
that it holds me up
It reminds me
that I have 
a crooked soul
but I hold myself
up tall

I have watched
a sunset
the colors 
not aligned perfectly
and you know what?
that makes it
even better
it is a crooked sunset
not perfect
but perfectly wonderful
just the way it is

I have
a crooked soul
and I am proud.
