What I want

I've got nothing left
I've given my best
And I know I can't do this
On my own
I'm torn between
Going after dreams
Or living with regret
Of letting go
I'm done with banging my head against the door
But can you peel me off this floor
Cuz I don't know if I can get up again
What I want may not be what I need
Have I been let down?
Or am I learning now?
To trust in what I cannot see
But I'm tired of trying to figure out what you want
And tired of always screwing up
But this is all of me
What I want may not be what I need
Just let it go…
What I want may not be what I need

Proverbs 4:23

"When I find myself frustrated, angry, annoyed, or having a stinky attitude, it's because of an unfulfilled expectation. This nips at me all the time. Learning to set aside unmet expectations unselfishly can be difficult."

-"We must renew our minds daily if we are going to have a renewing of our reactions to unmet expectations." "If then you have been raised with Christ, see the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on earth."
