Take a stand and be proud
Take a stand and be grateful
Take a stand and be faithful
Before the Lord
Worship and bow before His throne
With every heartbeat sing to the Lord
Praise His name, praise His majesty
Praise His mercy
Look to be worthy of the glory of God
Remember to pray and to talk to
The God of the power of hope to claim us
To hold and protecting for the mercy of God
Worship with praise, worship with joy
Sing and be happy before the Lord

I am not a person
I am masterpiece gone awry
Made up of shipwrecks
With salt water leaking through,
Spilling onto the picked-clean bones
Of my beached whale ribcage
I am hollow hollow hollow
Like the knots of a tree
I curl into myself
Filling in the cracks of my carcass
With that too-sweet, too-sticky honey
I rot all through the winter
And then I rot some more
Silent cries darken even the brightest places of her soul
As they broach the subject of her faults:
Irresponsible, unempowered, unworthy, insignificant.
Irresponsible in the face of problems,
Unempowered to the point of deafening silence,
Unworthy of anyone's blessings and everyone's love,
And insignificant enough not to have any worth in the world.

She was a simple, scary mistake,
One that could never be erased,
But she's here now,
And she's been here for quite some time.
Now everyone wonders:
How much longer will she last?
"It's normal to see them around trash cans, dumpsters, and
decaying veggies, but mine found he's or her
home resting on my bathroom faucet.
Every morning there it rests.
To me i never felt it was a pest.
What gives me the right to judge God creations?
A category characteristic of there own.
It was not being harmful to me, yet a bit
playful i may add.
Flying in front of my mirror making sure
looking good for the day planned.
Done, it would land on my finger as i escorted
us both out into open land.
I released. Flying with freedom to the sound
of Steve Miller Band.
Doing my errands for the day i would think
at times what my simple little friend was up to.
It sometimes made me sad when i thought one day hearing
someone say."They die on the 3rd day"...
What suddenly came to me. It was the end of the 3rd day.
I awoke on the 4th. Walked slowly into the bathroom.
Looked upon the faucet. My morning companion was gone.
Living with a fruit fly maybe absurd to many, but i love all
creatures of God. To me it was full of fun, and funny."
Im a mess
One failed test would lay me to rest

One Question i cant answer  at my best
And ill be just like  the rest

Examinations  are testing my resolve
I dont feel as though i have  a choice,
I dont want to be involved

I just want to go on my own, why do i have to follow along?

My path  is not well trampled but that does not mean its not correct

Just because  im lost on my own path of self  discovery does not mean im not at my best
Im going  through a hard time. I dont know who i am. Or what i want to be
I just need to figure out me
