I Want To Be...
I want to be so many different things, yet it is supposed to feel effortless to be myself
 it should be simple to display your own personality without a second thought
 If only that were so.
 
 I crave to be like God in every way,
 Though i know that is far from reality.
 Both my heart and my mmind are telling me different things.
 This leaves me confused and distraught.
 i am afraid that until I learn who I truly want to be, these emotions will become familiar
 
 I am a mess of contradictions,
 Each is furiously vying to destroy what peace of mind I have lef.
 Whether I should be a leader or a follower,
 Whether I should be blunt or sharp,
 Whether I should be meek or bold,
 Whether I should be narrow or broad,
 I have no way of knowing which path is meant for me to follow.
 
 As soon as I decide who I want to be,
 A huge burden will be lifted that was previously sitting lazily on my shoulders,
 I will emerge stronger, and I will become sturdier,
 When i finally convince myself to fully rely on Him and Him alone.
 
 Neither seconds nor days can easure how long this will take or me to realize.
 I can't imagine God's plan for me , or how He will mold me in the future,
 That's the most wondrous part,
 I have to anxiously wait until he transforms me into the girl I want to be,
 I may have to put some work in, but that's a small price to pay,
 For there is only one thing I can think of that I want to be, 
 And that is a woman of God.
