God's Gift to Me
written by Lothiriel03:34 PM 12/21/04Slowly, comprehension sets in
I can finally see where I stand
Where I want to be
how I want to be
No longer plagued with doubt
No longer aged in sadness
I see all the gifts that the world
has so graciously blessed of me
All the love I had denied
when I was too scared to see
It was often times too hard to believe
when I thought that my life was already set in a stone
of an unchanging desire
When all this time I thought I was alone
How I fell so willingly into a trap
of my mind's contorted web of fury
How could I have gone all these years
thinking that things should be handed to me
Like I deserved to be differant
and not have to work to be free
Why should I have ever thought
that sadness should drag me down
Stop growing because I was shaken
and believing that it wasn't fair to me
It should never have been about me -
my sadness
It should never have been about what I missed out on
because life dealt me pain
And how I stopped moving
because I thought I had nothing to gain
There comes a time in life
when everything stands still
And you're forced to make a choice
that will change everything as you see it
And I have learned that you can't begin to live
until you see who you are
Until you look inside of yourself
and take hold of your wandering soul
and hold it close to you
More matters in this life
than what may happen to you
when you're not looking
And I've learned that you can't be selfish
and it's not all about you
It's about always looking
Opening your eyes to every detail
because you've got to see
And that's the tale...
Of God's gift to me |
