Warned
to be cautious,
to
carefully guard my heart.
“You
will only get hurt”
is
how most reprimands start.
They
see me on the outside,
never
bothering to look within.
Even
once I’ve bared my soul,
it’s
an argument I just can’t win.
Determined
to live to the fullest,
avoiding
all what-ifs.
In
my mind it’s the only way
to
really find true bliss.
Thinking
not only of tomorrow,
but
also of today.
Finally
living as was intended,
becoming
authentic in every way.
All
influences removed,
I’m
content with who I was designed to be.
I’ve
found myself in a place
where
at last my faith sets me free.
Ready
to live for Something greater
than
anything else I’ve known.
And
to embrace a joy that I’ve forever
longed
to call my own.
