The Character of Me
All those painfull little memories
so neatly stuffed down inside,
Helped to build the wall around my heart
Where my soul chose to reside.
So many scars and battle wounds
Only God alone can see,
But these are things he destined my life to carry,
To build the character of me.
So today i am much stronger
than i ever thought that i would be,
And ive gathered some wisdom and some patience,
On the journey to be free.
I find im not hasty to get angry
And I think before i speak,
I stand my ground when i know im right
To show that im not weak.
People can love or hate me
I cant determine how they choose,
But i will not carry a grudge or hate,
Because my inner peace i just cant lose.
So if i seem withdrawn and choose
not to socialize,
Its because the only thing that matters
Is how God sees me in his eyes.
