I am

by Tessa

I am I am torn between what this world is and what this world seems I am broken Broken over feelings, insecurities, desolation I am chained Chained by what I wish I was and who I really am I am lost I am hungry I am searching Now I am running Across white sand through a rich green forest I become fluent with the world around me Now I am leaping, now I am running, people are watching I am running on a street, in a city, in a moment Encrypted in history I am dancing I am singing People are turning I am beautiful I am free This moment, this feeling This ambiguous joy This is life This is Love This is God

<p>Powerful expression!&nbsp;</p>
Tessa
Sometimes it can be difficult to find happiness in a world that seems to always be bringing you down. Somehow, I am always able to find love and joy by giving my worries to God.
