Re-Defining My Dreams

Tension Rising in my heart; fear paralyzing me from the neck down Frozen numbly; staring intently at my reflection in the mirror Bones decaying more and more As I ran farther away from my dreams they chase me into a dead end Trapping me in a cage crying out for attention Shackles clasped tightly to my feet My hands cramp from excessive wear; my creativity is choked and strangled by society This cage ; these rusty bars now define me , My dreams knock louder and louder As I weep on my knees seeking my identity. Who am I? I am who my father created me to be: My dreams are a part of me So why should I run and hide? Every Ounce of me that God place inside of me comes Crashing into my heart like heavy tides Anticipating the very moment of eruption God placed these dreams inside of me –In my darkest moments he used them as lights in my life Leading me straight to him I let fear clear away my inspirations Take away my motives and drown out my voice, But now I rise above the Say-So’s of this World I am no longer defeated and my dreams will not be deleted, I am more than a conqueror through My father who loves me I am a daughter of the highest king I am victorious in all things, I am breaking lose from these shackles and removing these burdens I am not caged; I am free because of My Heavenly father gave me his power to bring his name glory And today I have decided to give God all of me And that means chasing after my dreams!
