What has this world to offer me?
Though I may have missed out on a whole lot of things, I know what even if I've received it, it would be vanity.
I used to care so much about how others think of me, always seeking love and approval, but that day, when people have shown me their true colors, I came to understand I never needed it. People are fickle, and value you based on how useful you are to them, and the minute you've outlived your usefulness, they discard you.
Thanks! But I don't need it. I don't want it. I'm good.
I quietly observe the world and its people, and see how they act towards one another, and how they boast in their works. Though I may be far behind in life, I question if there's any point to all this.
I've got nothing going for me, and I don't even know where to begin, or what to do with my life. It seems that all the things that I imagined myself wanting to do has already been accomplished already, save crafting a perfected "backup dream” tincture. So, why do I care about anything?
If this is what my life has to offer — to wake up, work 8-12 hours a day at a meaningless job, to go home and eat alone, and sleep, rinse and repeat for the next 40 years, then I'd rather die!
Is this really it? Is this all my life has to offer?
It can't be!
But I know something’s got to change. There's something I'm doing wrong. Or could it be that the way I've been taught to do just doesn't work for me, seeing that's how it's been all my life, down to the way I hold my pencil, or better yet, in tying my shoes?
I understand now. I'm no longer going to play according to the rules; I always lose no matter how I try. They can fight amongst themselves for the throne of being the "alpha gorilla". Me? I'll build my own kingdom, and I'll build it brick by brick, and use all the abuse the people of the world have laid upon me as my foundation. And I will be the winner.
I always look to the clouds, desiring to be up there looking down upon the people. And that dream will come true. Try as they might at knocking me down, I will see to it that I rise above and become untouchable.
Because the truth is, God is my strength and my portion in this life; my winning hand! Through Him I'm “built different”.
And it's because of that fact YOU CAN NEVER HOPE TO KILL ME, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU MANAGE TO BATTER AND BREAK ME! I'LL GET BACK UP AND RISE AGAIN! AND AFTER ENOUGH PAIN, THAT SERVES ONLY TO STRENGTHEN MY RESOLVE, AND I WILL OVERCOME YOU!
