Its Only Werds...

if i strain
and on tiptoes,
if i reach with all my strength...
if i try
just to touch YOU
will you PLEASE
just the tip
of One Finger

if i fall on my face
if i cry, will You hear me
if i shout, will You answer
if i whisper, will You know
it is me

and i struggle
all the things
You tried to show me
and i went right on my way
as if to say
'its all good, i can do this'
and i smacked the Hand of Mercy
said, 'no thank you'
my ideas seem just fine
and in freedom
i pursued them
with a passion

are You there?

does it matter
i am sorry

please don't let them
walk as i did
any
more.
take me out
send me home
what Your will
is for them
lead them to it
and the shame
all the pain
and the fallout

place on me.
