(the Unknown)

(The Unknown)

Am I a woman
yet surly I still don’t know.
Sometimes I find myself
In a daze
Just peeking out
My window frame.
Daydreaming
Trying to predict the outcome.
Not knowing
What God has already done.
Sometimes I feel like a child on the inside,
But a woman I see
Staring back at me.
Aren’t all women suppose to have it together?
I’m still struggling
With ALL my
Insecurities & doubts
Still trying to figure out
What life is really about.
Strong & confident women
I sit and admire
From a distance.
If only I could have
Just half her glory
Wouldn’t it be funny
To know we shared the same story.
Or Maybe
I should sit back and wait.
I think it's called
Having a lil faith.
All I know is
I wanna be like the women on TV.
And maybe even the ones before me.
strong and confident
Is all I see.
Man how I wish
That could me.
Why did I have to have these issues.
These issues got me going crazy inside
With emotions
I just cant hide.
Still trying to identify
Just who I am
On the inside.
Confusion & doubt
Can be very potent
Mix it together
And it becomes
A very powerful
Fear potion
That I believe
The devil brewed
Especially for me.
He tried to single me out
And make me feel lonely.
But the voice in my head said:
'just keep going'.
So here I am
Still pondering questions
Of where to began
& just
Where do I fit in?
And then I start to think of him again.
When its all said and done
That’s the only thing that gives me sanity
An the will to fight.
He gives me vision
When I have no sight.
He’s the voice that lets me know
Everything gon be alright.
That I don’t have to go through life alone.
See I know I’ll be fine.
I just have to work on this patience’s of mine.
That’s what's bothering me
The unknown.
I just cant wait
I gotta know!
All I want is to be told!
Just What my future may hold.
