Becoming

Introverted Sage

If I wrote what's on my mind
They may think of me a mess.
Words swirling sending signs.
Got to get this off my chest. 

Is it the hurt of my entire life -
Pain, desolation or is it worse?
Words can cut like a knife -
Send you flying or rolling by in a hearse.

Is it my thought process - 
How my mind works?
Show them the ins and outs
They keep saying I got this.

But that fear kicks in and I'm not sure whose judgement I fear the most
My own, public opinion or the holy ghost.

The secrets I've unlocked.
Turning back hands of the clock.
Trampled my fears.
Haste now a firm stop.
Brought me here.
Checking my stock
It's more than a lot
To become what I hold dear.

    If it’s pain then all one can do is bring it to Him and allow healing to begin. Powerful work my friend.
