Please hear me Jesus
I know you love me
And you know that I love you
But sometimes
I just don’t know what to do
My life has always been
In need of confidence
I didn’t know how
To have faith in myself
I didn’t know what it meant
To believe in myself
The key to unlocking
And opening every door
My father wanted
So much more for me
Hard for him to know what I wanted
When even I didn’t know myself
All I ever wanted
Was to be not better than anyone else
Just better than I was
The best that I could be
Better at sports
To know my friendships were real
For the girl who lives in my heart
Was happy to be there
A chosen career making me successful
I don’t know why I couldn’t see
What I needed to see
The answer to all my questions
Still, I feel that blindness
Unsure of myself
The final missing piece
Of an unfinished puzzle
I don’t expect anything
Of which I don’t deserve
I feel like I’m in between
The extremes of indecision
Even these words I now write
I don’t know why
I Ask of You Jesus
