Odette: "What else is there?"

what do you see when you see me?

is it what you want me to be? is it who you hope i am?

if one day you wake up and find that i'm different, should it change anything?

will you respect my voice then? even if its an opinion you may not ever comprehend?

i'm changing, and i'm learning, and i'm growing. even if you can't see it.



but you know, what you think of me doesn't even matter to me anymore.
and i'm not expecting you to understand me,
simply because i already have someone who does.
He comforts me, and wipe my tears.
even when i let Him down, He never fails to love me and draws near to me.

one thing i ask: Lord, what do You want me to learn from this?
