Late Night Poet

I am my father's daughter,

my brother's sister,

and no one's savior.

Accepting these things means surrendering myself, whoever I am. 

God, help me to break these walls down. God, break me down. 

Let your light bring me to my knees, 

and let your love carry away my desire for things of night. 

I draw near to you. 

But I dare not touch you with unclean hands. 

I reek of pride. 

You love me? God... why? 

I am a fool to question, I know. 

But is it always wiser to be silent? This I do not know. 

I've seen the past, I fear the future, and I depress the now. 

But you use my past, you know my future, and you hold me now.

Thank you.

You let me rest my anxious mind. 

I find peace in your arms; I am free. 

I'm letting you heal my reckless spirit.

Finally, I release all of me and give to you my life.

I am yours.
