____________
Do you think you'd ever try again?
He asked
I was not afraid I was not threatened I was not offended
Why?
I knew there was nothing there except the desire
For connection
For understanding
For knowing
And love
I said maybe when I'm established
And have my ducks in a row
When I'm bulletproof
I think back on that
And realize I had meant to say
When I'm less afraid
When I'm able to
Do the things I was made for
I used to think I was built for love
Turns out I'm terrified of it
And finding out I'm insufficient
Wounds I know I carry
Wounds I thought I had healed from
Wounds that shape the soul
Bulletproof is boring - It's not real.
But where I am insufficient, may your grace pour through instead
