I want so many things,
I can't tell what I need.
I want to become something,
But I'm not sure it's what I should be.
I was taught we all have a purpose,
A reason to why we are born.
Life isn't a bed of just roses
Because its also got thorns.
The heart isn't always right.
It's vulnerable to desire.
It can lead us to downfall
Or take us even higher.
Where our life goes
Depends on what we choose.
Choose right, you win.
Choose wrong and you loose.
Hence I must be careful.
Think before I leap.
Careful what I do
And what I speak.
The world is unpredictable.
A risk at every turn.
Fly too close too the sun
And you burn.
The road is split in two.
I must choose one path.
And then prepare to face,
It's consequences and wrath.
God, be with me.
Please hold my hand.
Don't ever let me go.
Please help me stand.
I will do as you tell me,
I will do it your way.
But what of my dreams?
Am I to throw them away?
You had my life planned.
You knew it from the start.
But please also consider,
What's in my heart.
You know who I am.
You know what I'm meant to be.
So give me the strength
To accept what you give me.

Last year of high school and the pressure is getting to me. I have to make decisions, important ones. Its time to get serious, but I just cant get myself to pick a choice.
I want to do something, be something. I want to write, travel. I want adventure and fun but I don't know if I can have all that because God has a plan for me and I must do as he says. I know He will never give me anything I don't like, but I'm still afraid.
