identity

Who am I?

Who am I? 

Who am I? 

Questioned at very young age 

The very words you've written on a page

The piece of art you created, if you did

And the reasons why you made it.

Struggling with identity 

Trying to find the real me

Chasing guy after guy I

Was hoping they could define

 

But they couldn't instead they cracked

Under the pressure 

Because what I was asking was beyond human measure

Wanting to be someone treasure

Except I already was

By someone more than supernatural 

Beyond materialism 

Beyond tranquility 

Beyond reasoning or eyes reality

Held carefully inside strong arms

Who called me chosen, yours.

 

But it was hard to believe in what I couldn't feel or see

To try and make it define me

I needed the fancy clothes, the pretty rings

The fancy hair and all the petty things

The world calls rich and popular and success

That leaves you more empty and more of a mess

Not realising what i have one moment is gone the next 

It never last 

What you have now is already in the past

Ratting and waiting to pull the ground beneath your feet

And laugh at you as you stand beaten in defeat

All the things you have right now that you're holding right

Will be the greatest testimony against you

But I didn't know...I didn't know

I searched for the physical the visible 

Instead of the kingdom and invisible

While the world is more than half made of the unseen 

Who can see emotions in your head

The spirit of awake while you're in bed

The cells reproducing

How about the air we breathe 

Or the rotting of everything beneath 

Or the wind that that kindly refreshes on a hot day

There is more than physical in the way

That we live and breathe and are

So why do we choose the fancy car

The pretty man

To do the things that only God can

For we are created to know and be known by God

Who is originally our dad

We were meant to be in constant connection

Communication 

And perception with and of the one who created conception. 

To help give us order and direction

Please and perseverance 

Grace with endurance 

To run and never look back 

Till we reach the end

That is true identity my friend
