The World of Drey

Sometime within the past four days, I’ve grown up. I don’t know how to explain it, or what’s happening to me. All I can say is that I’m way different. I’ve encountered some new faces, that taught me a lot. and got to know a very sweet soul. However, some old faces were also encountered, and they weren’t very pleasant. When the only guy you’ve liked since your very first and only relationship ripped your heart out of your chest is a total jerk to you, things don’t go over very well. Needless to say, I’ve learned a lot about how people really are. I’ve learned that you can’t judge a person’s character based on their best days. Anyone can have a day where they are the sweetest person alive. It’s a persons worst days where you really see true colors. It’s currently 1 in the morning on the 17th. And I have not slept since the night of the 14th. My mind has been racing and I’ve written tons of poems out of these past nights. I love my Lord, and He has shown me so much. Thank goodness for that.

my race my race my race
my race, more than the color of my skin and the language I speak
More than a 5 or 10k
More than a run in the park awaiting for the sound of the gun to blast
to activate my stride, my step, my course
Destiny in the making, purpose for the taking
Awakened in a season, rather forsaken a reason for my being, the reason
for my seeing
the reason for my hearing, my speaking, my life, my choice
My longing to dispose of a comfort and a fear that’s recycled and reused
me for too long
Too many tears not poured into the right soil, the right soul
Too many years not reaping the ripe harvest, the right mind set in my ways
reevaluating my calling because I couldn’t calculate it
Reconsidering convenience because I couldn’t handle the leaving of home
The known for the unknown
The digital follow me’s that have kept me at ease, appeasing the heart
of me
Keeping the real followers at a distance for the scared of me
Status-quos, fb statuses for real life and unpredictable challenges
so grow and break the rest of me, realizing that all of Him is the only
best of me for them to see
I lost part of me in the process, part of me in the nonsense
part of me to get sense but not change, my life is worth more than
dreams that keep me dreaming and people waiting, keep me waiting
and people dreaming about a love so deep it keeps them gasping for His air
His breath to keep them breathing, His words to keep them believing
Longing for more of Him in the form of me and me longing for more of
Him in the form of them, so I go
