Here I go

You have taken the time to get to know me,

I guess it's time to open up so you can see ,

see the real me.

I love to watch flowers grow up from the grass,

I sit and try to make those moments last.

Just as I have tried to do for 18 years,

It's hard to talk about how I feel without tears.

I have always longed to fit in,

and I fake it with a grin.

Not many look much farther than my walls,

but when you take your time to talk to me,

it all falls.

I am ready to step out,

and live without doubt.

I am learning how to change,

and things are starting to rearrange.

Here I go,

I am letting go.

Thank you for being here for me,

you've opened my eyes so I can see,

the girl God created me to be.

I want the world

I didn't want to leave home,
or the things that were already known.

It was my choice and it was up to me,
but I chose to go be all I could be.

I started off fine,
but realized the things in this world,
I wanted to be mine.

I lost sight of what was really true,
and started focusing on the things that I could never have.

The body, the hair, and all that the world wants me to be,
God took me and open my eyes, and now I see.

It wasn't that I wanted the world,
I wanted the world to like me.

I know what I have to do,
and I pray God take me and makes me new.

Worth

where do you find your worth?

it can't be the make up, we don't have it at birth.

the weight of the world tells us where it needs to be,

but I have people in my life who say the beauty is me.

not the clothes I wear or the shoes on my feet,

it the smile on my face when we meet.

the love that I show from the creator of all,

the one that catches me when I fall.

my worth isn't in this world, or any of it's stuff,

in Christ, who I am is quite enough.
