I Was Told...

I was told to not become the person others tell me I need to be. 


I was told to never apologize for hiding behind the cross.


I was told to let go of those who felt they had a right to be angry with me for doing what I was told. 


I wasn't told that those would be some of the people closest to me...


I wasn't told how hard that would be...


I wasn't told how lonely it would make me feel...
