Poem: "Personality Tests"

Personality tests

They attempt to [[capture]]

and who we are

as *individuals*.

Perhaps it can help—

or perhaps not.

We can see different sides—

And yet we are not just blue,

or orange,

or gold,

or green.

Extroverted

or sensing,

or feeling,

or judging.

These lists don't capture my love of German

or of dancing in the rain,

the beauty I find in a single leaf

or the fact that

I try to stop the microwave just—

before it rings.

I laugh, I cry, I love and am loved…

I am me.

I am a child of God.

I am.
