i am a christian

i have been one for a long, long time.

i have tried to deny that

i have tried to travel other roads

but at the end of the day i pray to the same god i always prayed to

and in the morning it is that same god that i thank for the day i am experiencing

i am a christian

that fact, suddenly, has become very much inescapable

i don’t know that i am a very good christian

i don’t know that i think like a good christian

i don’t know that i act like a good christian

i don’t know that any of that matters

it is what it is

and i am what i am

should a chair call itself a swimming pool

that would not make the chair a swimming pool

it would only make the chair ridiculous

perhaps even pretentions

and certainly it would make it wrong

i am a christian

imagine that

i can’t decide if i’m amused or disgruntled that this means no one will ever again be able to claim that naked water is wrong about everything
