To Know Me

To know me 4 years ago,
I was broken
Trying to piece my life together with watered down glue
Loving myself through loving you
So I thought
As I fought
To keep our love from falling apart

To know me 2 years ago I started to mold my life together as if it was Play-Doh
Depending on the love of others
For example, poisonous love in friends
A sister, brother, or mother
Questioning my worth
Because of the hurt
Being turned down as everyone began to desert me

To know me now Is to know me before my transformation
As I molt into my shiny chrysalis
My body changes and I look for outsiders’ approval much less
Growing to know me

Fully engulfed in the fires of my being
Blazing Internally
As my spirit takes the lead fully comprehending
That you, Father, are all I will ever need
To succeed
This I believe
