Metamorphosis by Jessica

METAMORPHOSIS

I used to feel like it was me against the world,
And trust me, I was losing.
I used to see God as a question mark or an impossible fairytale.
I used to think there couldn’t be a god,
 Where evil is so evident and endless.

I used to feel like no one could love me,
Because that’s what they told me.
I used to see myself as my own Savior,
But I didn’t know what it meant to be saved.
I used to think the things of this world were my only hope.

I used to feel like my self-worth was measured,
By what I wore and how I spoke.
I used to see love as something purely physical,
Because that’s what the world taught me.
I used to think that anything I said or did would be judged,
Even by the people I pretended were my friends.

But I am here to say that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, I was wrong!
There is a God that has been shouting, “I am here,”
Since the day I was born.
‘He knows when I sit and when I rise,
And he is familiar with all my ways.’
He has shown me that every scar I bear is a reminder that I am healed!
So listen, because he will never stop shouting
For the people with thoughts like I used to have.
