Psalm 139:14
Photo by Emiliano Arano from Pexels.
I’ve been wiping my own tears so much lately I can’t keep up,
Afraid that I might fall
Into my own ocean.
He says “you are my child”
But I feel worthless,
Afraid that I might fall.
Because I go against the grain,
I cry when I look at myself,
I cry when I see what He has created.
I’ve been wiping my own tears,
I can’t keep up.
Afraid that I might fall,
Into my ocean of tears that taste like salt when they finally reach my dried lips, cold and filled with the feeling of sorrow.
Afraid that I might not walk through the ocean He has parted for me,
That I might turn my head and become blind.
That I will choose to keep wiping tears and not notice how He weeps
saying
“You are my child.”
