Heartbeat

God,
why are you so good to me?
I do not deserve anything you have given me,
yet you continue to bless me with even more.

I could never thank you enough,
for picking up the pieces of my broken heart,
and making me whole once again.
You helped me find,
the rhythm of my own heartbeat.
I had gone for so long trying to live,
according to the rhythm of society,
but in the process ended up killing my own heart.

God,
you set me free from myself,
so I could find what my heart truly beats for.
You helped uncover the passion I had buried deep within.
You helped me realize that the sounds of my own heartbeat,
beats for you.

God,
I look around and see the stress and sadness,
of those who have forgotten their own heartbeat.
Why are we so eager to kill our own hearts,
for things that do not last?
We bury our passions and joys to get ahead in this world,
all the while, the heart weeps,
for it wants to beat to the rhythm,
You have created it to.

God,
Why can't we let go of control?
Why are we so afraid of the freedom you bring?

Lord,
Help me, God!
Let my life be an example,
of someone who dances to the rhythm,
of my true heartbeat.
