The Girl

Borrowed from a friend(:

"I'm the girl who will persist in her path,
I'm the girl who will make you laugh.
I'm the girl who strives to be open,
I'm the girl who's been heartbroken.

I'm the girl who's been on her own
And I'm the girl who's felt all alone.
I'm the girl who holds your hand,
And I'm the girl who wants you to stand up and be a man.

I'm the girl who tries to make things better.
I'm the girl who's the dorkiest person ever.
I'm the girl who's lost more than she's won,
I'm the girl who's turned but never spun.

I'm the girl you couldn't see.
I'm that girl.
And that girl is me."

     I couldn't help but smile as I read this poem, for every line rang true for myself. I'm sure we could each add a line of our own as the poem could go on and on. Yet in spite of hurt and loneliness, I am never truly alone because I have a friend that sticks closer than a brother. What an incredible thing it is to know that the God of the universe sees me even when I feel invisible. Nothing I do escapes His notice, and He cares for me. Even when it hurts, even when it's hard, I know I can run to Him because He is the Lover of my soul, and the Healer of my scars.
