Come to my heart in these shattered places.

Healing begins when you seek for the healer.

There is no denying vulnerability.

There is no escaping.

Come in please?

Tired of holding it in,

Tired of holding my head up.

Where is the lifter of my head?

If you're everything you say you are

Come close and hold this breaking heart.

It came to me like a dagger.

I wish I can be with you right now.

I wish we didn't need airplanes to fly.

I wish we didn't have to wait on other people.

I wish I could see you now.

I wish you were never sick.

I wish you could see me graduate.

I wish time could stop.

I wish I was small again.

I wish you could cook like you used to.

I wish you can breathe normally again.

I wish you can scold me like you did.

I wish you were healthy.

I wish I'll never have to say goodbye.

I'm scared.

God, I'm scared.

When the day is closing in like the stars in the night;

I am falling into the pull of the earth and it's affection.
In me, oh Lord, can you create a pure heart

Because I'm afraid that I just might run back to the things I hate.

After talking to my mom today

I discovered something new about passion.

So many people have asked,

"Why not go into science?"

"Why not aim to be a doctor?"

"Why not apply for better universities?"

Why, why, why?

Frankly, these questions have been a struggle to my ego.

10 years from now I'll see many of you again

Some will be lawyers, others biochemists.

Some will be a CEO, others driving a Ferrari.

Me? I have a pretty good idea how rich I will be.

Truth is, I never imagined my future to be rich.

Thinking about the road I'm taking

I realized I cannot live without people.

I need to work with people;

I want to impact their lives directly.

There is something intriguing in each individual

Their stories, their experiences, their dreams.

I've never been so frank to myself or to others

But I'm writing this so that 10 years from now

I can be sure of this passion He's placed in me.

The passion that drives me.

No, this passion does not define me.

I'm made up of more than that.

I've never been a person of many big dreams,

After all, Tomorrow is the future we cannot completely grasp onto

And for many people

Living through each day is a gift itself - let alone Tomorrow.

Sometimes if you'll allow yourself to be an empty vessel,

You'll find that He can do so much more.
