To be who

Advertisements

I need to be without looking for answers to why things are the way they are.

For I know I’ll get the answer and it may not be the one I wanted or needed to hear at the moment.

So then what ignore what’s happening in front of me just to try to live for me.

Sometimes being stubborn and thinking we know the way things should be is our downfall.

We can’t predict what is happening to us or those around us.

So when things keep hitting the fan and there seems like no right answer insight.

We pray or take a breather from what we were so focus on and refocus on what will calm us.

What will open our eyes to see far more than what we saw before.

So that who I am met to be doesn’t become who I never got to be or do.

No regrets as I continue to find out who I am and what that means to me.
