my soul yearns for more
will i see so clearly everything else disappears
who are you when no one is looking
can you make it another day lying to yourself in the mirror
feel the thing without fear of being judged
the spectrum of human emotion is complex
are you living on the playing field or watching on the sidelines
can you bear witness to the atrocities unfolding within or will you run away at the sight of discomfort
where will you run when the very thing you fear is running alongside
you cannot outrun what you are
you will never catch up
slow down
let it consume you
my soul yearns for less
be still
and
you
will
open
up
and
realize
that the very thing you are yearning for is running right alongside
your faith and your fear
am i really here?
or
am i barely catching up?
