I search inside to find what's really me <br /> Bring those emotions to the light so I can see; <br /> To find a way with hidden problems to deal. <br /> I have prayed by getting on my knees to kneel, <br /> From the Almighty many questions I have to ask; <br /> But, I know, I myself, also must challenge this task. <br /> If I must go and find a place of solitude, <br /> No one need to think I've developed an attitude. <br /> It's just that I need to know the directions of my life, <br /> Stop doing things that will end up in strife. <br /> To "classify normal," can anyone really say? <br /> For we know not what will happen from day to day. <br /> Yet, I must try to find what's my true self, <br /> Bring it into the light, not hide it on a closet shelf. <br /> No human can really know what I should do, <br /> So I constantly lift my eyes to skies of blue. <br /> Somewhere, somehow, with this, a way I must find, <br /> Not only search my heart and soul, but also my mind. <br /> My answers, alone, can not be found; <br /> I must always have a keen ear to hear the sound <br /> Of angel voices who guard over me day and night. <br /> Messages from HE above on my problem HE will shine a light. <br /> If I truly believe, HE will put me on the right path, <br /> And I won't be left with agony in my own wrath. <br /> So to kneel and pray before HIM, I surely must <br /> Always, always, in HIM , I shall trust.<br /><br />Cathy Bales Wilder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/finding-myself-3/
