Awakening

So complicated am I.

I know not what I want.

My decisions come fast and hard... no time to think.

So many times have a I sat and stared upon myself.

Never finding what I wish to see.

Never seeing what I wish to find.

Then, a realization so undeniable begins to grow within me.

A new strength that I've never experienced.

Confidence in every step.

Intelligence in every word.

Within my eyes, I no longer see the little girl that I once was.

Within my eyes, I see the young woman that I have strived to become.

So beautiful is she.

Fair skin as smooth as white silk.

Eyes so dark and brown that adventure seeks their willing departure.

Hair so thick and rich, envy comes from those around her.

She'd never be arrogant.

She'd never boast aloud of the new respect that she now holds within herself.

Too many questions does she still have.

Yet with time, she knows these questions will find their answers.

Betrayal and deceit have broken her spirit.

Faith and hope have given her new life.

Born again through love.

Given an a awakening through God.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was in a good mood, and I thought about who I was and what I had to be thankful for. In a way, the positives outway the negatives. I love life, and without the bad parts, we wouldn't be able to cherish the good parts. Take a look in the mirror and see qualities in yourself that you might never have seen.
