- This was probably one of the hardest things to write for me. It is hard to put words to something you struggle with. It’s like I didn’t want to face it, didn’t want to admit it, didn’t want to surrender and say “I need you God. I need you to remind me who I am.”
I spent so much time questioning myself. What could I do to make them like me more? To belong a bit more? - Nothing. Am I too much? Not enough? Lacking somewhere? So I sat there looking at myself in tears. What’s wrong with me? I’m not pretty. I’m too loud. I don’t speak up enough. Get a grip. I’m too girly. Not graceful enough. I was lying to myself. That’s not who He made me to be and that is not who the Lord made anyone else to be. It’s not like I’ve got it all together after this though! I think it’s just a daily thing where we gotta remind ourselves we were made for something bigger than ourselves and other people’s opinions. It sure isn’t easy though, there’s absolutely no lie about that. Keep running after Him - He will remind you who He made you to be - no lies.

I'm just a follower from South Dakota, but just want to encourage you. Your poetry is honest, personal, and glorifying to God. Thank you.

Thank you so much for being able to finally face this and PEN this, there are so many people (young people esp*) on this table, me included. We shall keep up hope in the love of God as he alone can continuously remind us of who he has made us to be.
I love watching other Christian poets for inspiration and encouragement!!
Awesome! I'm a poet too! I'll check your channel out!!
I really needed to hear this! Your poetry is beautiful and you can hear God working through you.
Your poetry is awesome! So honest and raw. Hope you continue making content
Samara, I have shared your videos and my friends were touched and one even said she needed to hear this, not sure how your life is going but I wanna ask you to please consider making more spoken word poems/stories, or atleast put it up in prayer. Anyways, may the Lord speak into your heart and guide you so that God may continue to speak to His children, through you and may Our Lord also open any doors that need to be open so that you may continue to fulfill His will in all that you do. God bless you and your ministry.
I really love the ending lines. Great writing.
Beautiful 😍 and very educative.
💖🎼“I need you God. I need you to remind me who I am.” 💖🎼
Your words cut deep. Thank you. I am a poet myself with the only hope to reach others. I watched other Christian poets and you so far is the best I seen. Thank you for being inspiration to so many.
true and beautiful
hi Samara, though you rendered this 4 years ago but the message and the grace is still current. Just to let you know that your work still make impact and to encourage you to press on. I am your new follower from Nigeria
I really needed this today, and everything you said resonated with where I am at today and what I have struggled with at different points in my life. Thank you for reminding me I am not alone, and that the pinnacle of my existence is based on Him.
I’ve actually been working on a lie series of poems, where I take a lie I have believed and combat it with God’s word. I really want to get back to it.
I cried a lot. I'm a liar. :) I could even fake my emotions, I've been like this since I was a kid. I'm having a hard time changing it. It hurts when you did your best to please other people but in the end, no one stayed and they even betrayed you. :) All I could thank for is that my parents introduced God to me. He was there for me in my rough times, when I was depressed and cried every single night with a pillow on my face so that I could hide my scream and sadness from everyone.
Thank you SO much for sharing this. You are beautiful and loved! Keep rocking on girl!
Wow. It's awesome to know that God is faithful. God bless you friend.
This was an amazing piece and the way you performed it was beautiful. Well done
Thank you! God bless!
That was powerful
This is so beautiful, everyone somehow has believed in those lies.
thank you for this piece. am surely blessed
I am definitely guilty of believing them! Thank so much for the encouragement!
This literally made me into tears 😭😭
Love your videos please post more 😀
YES!! That's what I was just thinking!
This was amazing...and I can relate
This is so powerful! I've whispered all of those same lies, and have allowed the opinions of others to affect my performance.. I'm currently trying to overcome stage freight.. I was given a spot light in my church to prophetically speak into the life of the congregation through spoken word poetry, but every time I'm up there my insecurities grip my heart and whisper defeat in my ears.. I have a story that only I can tell and there are so many that can relate to what I've been through. Do you have any pointers for someone like me? Either way, could you pray for me?
I know it's been a year now. But I am praying for God to give you a special grace to overcome your insecurities and fears so His light can shine through you and His glory can be made manifested and seen through you. Amen and Amen.
So good! He is all you ever need.
Wow. Thankyou.

You are beautiful, smart, and bright but then again sometimes we believe what our mind tells us and sometimes the most toxic person we have is ourselves. Hopefully you are having better days a year later 👍

Dear Samara Faith Norris ! Thank You so much for this.
Of course! Thank you for your encouragement!
I'm waiting patiently for new stuff to be added, I'm limited at this point and would like to know more about you. More so your soul and heart for Jesus. Your respond is not needed, honestly I wouldn't believe it was you. The road is narrow which means the people are few, I hope your for real and not another phonie fake snake spreading Pharisee yeast. I'm a warrior, front liner for Jesus and I tolerate no nonsense. If your for real, your brother in Christ, Corey.
hi I think your great al
