More from the crazy 16 year

16 was an interesting year for me. It was definitely a time of growth- I had a lot of doubts about God, myself, and why I am here. Insignificance was a central thought in most of my poems from this year- thankfully God showed me that I am significant because of my relationship with Him and I'm worth something because He loves me :) I love God =)

This one's called Turn to You, written 9-20-08. Its not the greatest poem thus, I changed a few things. The similarity between the 1st and last stanza, to me, show how God can really change your perspective on life.. I still have struggles but my life is no longer a meaningless question mark.

The clock ticks by

another day, another hour.

My emotions flood my mind-

I don't even know what's real

Another tear, another fall

I try to pick myself up,

but what am I struggling for ?

It's hard to see

but it's becoming clear

 that nothing makes sense without you

Now I understand what I have to do-

every day, every hour

every triumph, every fall,

I turn to You.

This one's got a very similar theme, I suppose it makes sense considering it was written one day later! LOL.



Follow or Lead?

So many choices to make

which path should I take?

whose dreams should I follow,

Yours or mine?

I don't know what I want

I don't know what I need

I'm just looking for something

to make me feel complete.

Life's just full of questions-

what to fight for and what to lose

They say, "Just listen to your heart

and then you can choose."

Oh if only it was that easy

My heart is incarcerated by

its swaying feelings and doubts-

Truly, only your Love and Salvation

can light my path, can pull me out
