For those who don't know me,
And for those who do
This is the real me…
I'm just another girl
Floating by in life
I'm shy
I'm hyper
I'm emotional
I'm caring
I can be as sharp as a knife
(Other times I can act pretty stupid)
I'm aloof
I'm outgoing
I'm easily annoyed
I'm easily amused
I love debating
I love being comical
I'm spontaneous
I'm stubborn
I'm a slacker
I'm energetic
I'm a loner
And yet I can be social
And believe it or not
I'm a Christian
I used to be empty
Filled with a never-ending void
But I gave my life to God
And He filled my soul
With an indescribable joy
I used to be into drugs
I used to be agnostic
I used to be Wiccan
I used to be an atheist
I used to be a lot of different things
Before I found God
I have depression
But now choose not to suffer from it
I am finally ecstatic about life
And the blessings I've received
I know that God had a plan for me
Before the night I was conceived
I've been ridiculed
And I've lost some close friends
And I've been threatened
And I've been scoffed at
All because of my newfound belief in God
And despite what you've heard about Christians
I am open-minded
I won't judge you or hate you
I never have, and I won't now
I understand the youth of today
I am a part of it
I know the problems you face
But God is the only one
Who can take it all away
Not me, not your family
Not your friends
Not sex, not drugs
Not your therapist
Only God
I found it hard to believe
But it happened to me
If it can happen to me
The worst pessimistic person in the world
Then it can happen to anyone
This is who I am
I won't hide behind the shadows anymore
About who I am in fear that I won't be accepted
I was never accepted in the first place
God accepts me
And I care only what He thinks of me
Because you either like me or you don't
This is the real me…
