Understand Me


I walk through the night without fear. Darkness shadows me like a cape. I walk with no destination. With the feeling that my end will soon be near. My mind sways from one worry to the next. What I will become, is so continuously vexed. Our futures are so uncertain, the only thing sure is the wind. And the stars, and the moon above. Day to day, I try to make sense of it all. I pray, I trust in God, and then ruin that love with sin. I am just what you made. I am a creation of His own. Because of my sins, you may stone. And now as I tread through this night alone, I realize now that I am home. No need to search further. The Earth is my playground. The Sea is my pool. I see these things so clearly, I refuse to ever play a fool. I have the power to write the very script to my life. There will be many accomplishments, much happiness. I will stop myself from writing any sadness or strife. To be sane is a daily mission. Sometimes the missions win, but I refuse to live in fear. I will get back up, and let my drive persevere. Fear is irrelevant. It is what you make it. And as I walk this lonely sidewalk, I trick fear with my wit. I stand in front of it and laugh in it's face. "You are such a disgrace, You will never control me" I am forever free. This sidewalk is taking me somewhere, and I don't know where that place is yet. But I know something great lies ahead. I could waste my time wondering, or instead; I will embrace my journey. I will soar to the highest mountain. I will climb the tallest tree. I am free. I will live without fear, in happiness, and be all that I can be. Watch me.
