A Revolution is Born

Today marks the beginning of a new era in my life (that's not melodramatic eh?). A day where I feel free. I've been freed to express myself. Actually, I shared my testimony at my church homegroup. The song line from the Goo Goo Dolls song has been popping in my head.:

And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Isn't that what we desire? For people to really know us and even more accept us.

It's shame that keeps us hidden inside behind self-built walls. What are we trying to cover up? Fear of failure or sounding stupid binds us and silences us. By grace, no more.

i really do love writing, and I think it's high time I started plopping some of my brain's confangled ideas up here on this blog.

Following is the first rap I ever wrote, and I think it's on the same theme of freedom in our unique identities.

Empty Talk, cos I ain't been living the walk

Ain't been believing that your love be relieving

My stain, my pain, my guilt, my shame

Been filling my beautiful brain

The drain of my thoughts been goin' to pot

Frustration, wanna be a new creation

Wanna fill this grand ol' nation with Love.

Wanna know that You love me that I really am free

To be, not bound to a tree like you wuz.

Free to dream, free to live,

Free to give of myself to others

Without fear that they'll think I'm weird

Just wanna be goin', just wanna be flowin'

With You, my Beautiful Friend

Forever with Love.
