Christmas Day
it doesnt even feel like Christmas
that mystical sensation
that secret anticipation i once felt
is no longer present
im longing for that mysterious gut wrenching feeling
how i use to look forward to Santa
how i use to be so anxious and full of life
and now, i feel nothing
my eyes no longer anxious
my heart no longer races
growing up has taken that childness away
and im ready for it
im ready to be a grown up
but not to old
not a 50 year old
but an 18 year old
responsible yet still young.
Christmas is still full of life
as am i
im not dead and hopeless
i am full of life
but as ive looked around
ive seen so many broken hearts
so many lonely faces
its a shame how they dont see how blessed they are
i have all ive ever wanted
i dont need anything more
grow me, stretch me and use me
i want to breathe life on this hopeless generation
You alone know my heart
so give me peace and guide my feet
thank You for each and every Christmas.
