Boo

Sadness
washes over me.
I can't stop.
Tears of hurricanes.

You have to go.
I understand.
Tears of joy.

You are precious.
Buttons will miss you.
He is away now.
Tears of children.

My heart left.
It will be back.
My next endeavor
Tears of change.

Hurt

Why?

I am only me.
I can't be anyone else.
I could try for you.
But I don't want to.

You have to learn to love me.
All of me.
Not just bits and pieces.

Some things you won't.
That's okay.
He just wants to be me.

Help me to be who I am.
Help me to take off my mask.
Help me to breathe.

My love is you.

Me

I am simple yet complex.
I am consistent.
Just hug me, and I'll be alright.
I do not like to fight.
I like to make you feel happy.
I desire holiness.
I want my life to count.
I love the innocence of a child's mind.
I want to be more like Christ.
I love relationships with people.
I like to scrutinize situations.
I love a challenge.
I sometimes have a hard time being me.
My flesh gets in the way.
I am learning to be comfortable with silence.
I love to smile and laugh.
I enjoy acting like a kid.
I like being serious.
I want to make you smile.

Love is hard.
But it is worth it.
His love paid the price.
I can never attain that perfection.
I try daily, but always fail short.
Praise the Lord.
