Being Alive

So sometimes I stand in the rain and think about my life

I think about why I can't do the things I want to without strife.

Why I am in a constant personal battle to be

Who I want without having to perpetually worry.

Everyday is a struggle to be myself

To try and take my soul off its dusty shelf

I NEED to live and laugh and love

WITHOUT the worry of what OTHERS are intolerant of

GOD please HELP me be free from these PRIDEFUL INSECURITIES

Help me to become a person of confidence and maturity.

Every step I take in hopeful determination

Takes me one step closer to my ideal manifestation

Eventually I will be able to experience the wonderful feeling

Of living without worrying about being perceived as unappealing  

Until that happens I'll be here

Becoming my own puppeteer.
