Who I Want to be


Who am I and who do I want to be?

Maybe a teacher, lawyer, or simply just me.

I want to be a person who chooses to do right.

No matter who laughs and mocks me all night.

The world is mean and cruel.

These hurtful comments I will choose to overrule.

I want to be someone that displays Jesus in my actions.

I want to ignore all the worldly attractions. 

Even though they seem like what I want,

I will ignore their every small taunt. 

I am me, and that is what counts.

I can be the person who amounts.

No matter who stands in my way

I will always show and love Jesus at the end of the day.
