Reasons

I’ve always valued authenticity

because for some reason

even the greatest sins of man,

seem more appealing to me,

than the greatest lie of perfection

I’ve always been in touch with my own darkness

because for some reason

my mistakes are what make me feel real

But why?

God always lights man’s darkness

because for some reason

He finds man worth the time and effort

even other men don’t do that

It’s always been this way

How great it is to know

my great God lights,

my great darkness

I now know the reason

Love.

(Psalms 18:28)
