Who am I?
by Erin Dijkema Who am I? A self-destroying vessel A continuous critic One who is generous, To avoid attention of pity Afraid of sad secrets And of haunting past Judging own abilities Self-professing fool Fiercely independent Never accepting, Denying impossibilities Too damn stubborn Selfishly attaining desires Fearful of truth And hidden emotions Confessions standing And waiting to be told But never given the chance A failing friend, Afraid to fully rely And lean on the loving And trust those deserving Nothing but the honesty. Those who are also like who I am Unsure of their future Disappointed in the world Or their own choices made Or even possibly both. But who am I To judge and criticize What God has made and formed, patiently? He never left me, Despite my unworthiness And greatest despair. He knows who I am, Who I was and Who I will be, sooner or later He gives me strength For both the mundane steps And the most enduring challenges Who am I to doubt? I am ignorant of the truth I am weak and foolish And sometimes irrational Who am I to doubt Who I will be in His hands? Whether itll be right Or good enough for the future? Am I the one that knows all, Though sometimes I insist I do? Who am I? I am a struggling follower Of the I AM. Written by Erin Dijkema. A recent graduate from Redeemer University College, I have lived most of my life in a small town called Athens,ON. A church participant all my life, I have just recently was blessed to be baptized in His Church. Email: [email protected] Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
