My Year in Poetry: I've Been Tired

I've been tired...

since I've tried to confine my psyche to a place that I know does not define me.

I've been tired...

of being convinced that I'm still the same, even though everyone's told me I've changed.

I've been tired...

of living a lie and lying awake countless nights trying to decide what I want in life.

I've been tired...

of being weak. Having the stress and pressure oppressing me, while still staying and aiming for what I claim to be,

I've found desire!

I've seen the idol I need to follow and stopped all my crying while I idle and wallow,

I hear choirs!

Singing and professing my calling, while giant fields of fellow followers keep me from falling,

I'm done!

This year I've found something giant to me, I've learned mistakes are not defining me,

I now give praise to someone higher than me, and he's giving me light that you gotta see...

This year I've found myself... Not only this but someone else,

I've found the key to eternal glory, Now excuse me while I say goodbye to the old me.
