Every day
I’m returning
To a version
I recognize
Yet still is
So foreign to me
I’m letting
The disappointment
Roll off me
I’m doing
The things
That petrify me
I’m finding joy
In places
Formerly marked
With disdain
I’m not taking
On unnecessary pain
Taking on discomfort
Is not a
Badge of honor
Unless he
Ordains it
Or allows it
I’m fully aware
That my problems
Will never cease
I just no longer
Give them
The power
To overwhelm me
To topple me
I’m strong
Yet very fragile
I’m the contradiction
The exception
To every rule
And there
Is grace
In accepting
What was once
So vehemently
Denied
Denial
The river
In Egypt
No longer
Resides there
God says move
This isn’t your home
Not anymore
Anyway
stay strong
