This poem is about my understanding the importance of making my own choices. |
What does it mean to Take control of your life? I have been trying to Answer that question For a long, long time. The truth is that I am still working on Finding the answers. I have begun to realize that It is really up to me To be the star actress In the play that is my life. I have always known that To some degree but It really hits me more All the time. It is time for me To stop being afraid To make my own choices. Bad or good or somewhere In between it does not matter As long as I feel as though I can live with the fact that I made that decision and Can deal with the consequences. I have to worry less about What others think of me Because people have judged me All my life or so it seems And focus more on What I think of myself. I need to use the power within The greatest love of all My love of myself And my love of God As well as God's love for me To carry me through The trials and errors of life And bring me to the joys And what makes life worth living. My adult life has been difficult But I have survived it all And there is happiness too So I know I can make it And someday I will be successful And be who God wants me to be. |
