Tell Me

Written January 20, 2010

By Jessica DixonPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

It's hard to understand the way universal plans work every day.

I've learned my lesson, thus this far,

but I can't ignore the lesson I've learned in my heart.

One lesson I learned is not to give up,

and another lesson I learned said let go.

The lesson I learned this time is don't be tough and don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid to cry because he would have held you until the end of the night.

Don't be afraid to say whatever is on your mind,

because when you do, you will find it satisfies.

The thing I am trying to figure out, is which lesson to learn.

That lesson of letting go or that lesson of keep praying and don't give up.

Some say follow your heart, but my heart is not as smart as the answer.

Still I hear, "follow your heart."

Well my heart does not agree with what His was saying.

My heart says keeps fighting, wait patiently.

Just live life the way you would have before;

seek Him and all things will fall into place.

If I follow my heart it says, I am still in love.

A change in status does not change a person's feelings.

My heart says there is no one else.

My heart wants to believe it is all a lie.

It's a lie when you say it is over because there's a look in your eyes.

Of course I could be as wrong as a sinner.

I just want the truth.

Have I deceived myself?

Am I just seeing things?

Or is it all just wishful thinking?
