Petite Poetry

I’m a lonely girl

In a world of smiling faces

People come, people go

Lord, you always remain

Shunned for a frown

Criticized for problems that no one knows

Outcast for being different

Dying when normal

Slowly leaving myself

For who you want me to be

Once, you said that I was perfect like this

But now you leave me for not being them

I try to please you

But it’s impossible you know

I will never be you

I will never be them

I will never be me

I’m stuck in t he vacuum

Trying to be both

Yet satisfying neither

How do I go back to being happy

I miss being with you

I want to see you again Lord

I want to know your Amazing Grace

Lord, you never leave, never change, never lie

I want to be everything for you

But I’m caught in this world

I’m shackled by Sin

I’m a prisoner of unrighteousness

Lord, don’t give up on me

I’m on my way, I promise

I’ve just gotten a little distracted

But Lord, I’ll make it one day

Cause no one can take away

Your Amazing Grace.
