Bar Magnet

sometimes i think

i am a magnet.

yes, you heard it right.

i attract people

into my life,

and repel some.

sometimes i get attracted

to some people

and rejected by others.

but in the choice of

magnets,

i will choose to be

a bar magnet.

my life is straight

like a bar magnet.

i have my

goals, vision

and direction

decided.

but somehow

i get lost

in the forces

of attraction

and rejection.

acceptance and

denial.

i would say one

side of the magnet

is me,

and the other one

is god.

sometimes

i want a person so hard

in my life,

but god repels the person

and throws her out

of my way.

sometimes i want

my job so hard,

but god closes that door.

sometimes i don\'t

love myself,

but god attracts me

towards myself.

this is liberating

as well as

exhausting.

i know god does things

for my own benefit

but somehow i can\'t

find a clue as to why

certain things

happen

and why others

don\'t.

but it\'s okay,

as long as i am

a magnet

i don\'t think

i need to find answers.

as long as god is

with me

i am sure

i don\'t have to question

things.

as long as i am with

myself,

i am sure i can remain

a bar magnet,

happily.
