I am moving through life with a newfound peace, feeling light as a feather.
My heart struggles inside, still wanting to please every person, still wanting to compare, be someone else.
Yet my whole self cries out: "I am me! Don't change who I am!"
My mind keeps reminding my heart and my soul that I no longer live to please this world, no longer live to please those around me.
Now it is easier to speak with confidence, walk with confidence, live with confidence.
No more sitting on the fence, waiting to see what others will say.
Now I am myself, learning day by day who I really am.
Realizing each new sunrise that God created me more beautiful that all I see around me.
Each mountain that stands, each wave that roars, each flower that blooms reminds me of his great love, his great ability to form and create beauty, and that fact that even I am beautiful.
Becoming me is still a struggle, still a push and a pull of the heart
But little by little I think I am finally starting to see
how beautiful, unique and special I can be.
The world still sings of all I should be, still pushes and nags
Yet I am standing firm, I will become me, I will be who I was created to be,
I will no longer change who I am for someone else, or hide the truth
I still have a lot to learn, there is a lot of room for growth
But with a little nudge and a little whisper,
My conformed self will set in the west while my new self appears on the horizon.
