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.
