If not in a monastery, <br />Where should I be? <br />Aside from poetry, <br />What else would make happy? <br /> <br />Still my dream were not fulfilled <br />Something in this world i want to yield <br />To be with myself, the real me <br />To do what I want, to be where i should be.. <br /> <br />Pulled out from the convent like a weed <br />Following their desire like an obedient kid <br />Failed with my dreams, make me lame <br />With other things, i have to aim. <br /> <br />But life doesn't end, I must go on <br />Dream another dream, I must move on <br />There are angels on land sent by God <br />To help me fulfill my dreams with a nod. <br /> <br />Perhaps God has another plan for me <br />Not my own dreams, but what it should be <br />With open heart I'm willing to embrace <br />Whatever may happen, where i can find solace. <br /> <br />I know with God, everything is laid out <br />So, be carried with His wind i may go <br />In this very challenging world we live <br />We shouldn't ask for what we will receive <br />But with what we can give.... <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> _mai_ <br />25Oct08 <br /> <br />(This is dedicated to children who have not been given the chance to choose on what they want in life esp. to...the Only Child of their Parents (like me) and instead follow what they wanted for their children..but i guess everything that is happening to us is according to God's Divine plan)<br /><br />Maia Padua<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lost-within-myself-ii/
