I'll go first,

Growing up, there was a huge emphasis on marriage in my community.
Everything I watched was about love,  lust and relationships, this was all I consumed.

Later on in life,  I began to crave affection and attention from many if not all the males in my life.

This lead me into a spiral of thinking that every male I had an interaction with was going to be my husband.

We listen and we don't judge...
Can we create a chain?

"God, don't give up on me yet, I know
  I'm not your best bet, but I'm trying,
  don't give up on me yet."

I know God will never give up on me, He will never leave me, nor forsake me...

I see my actions of my hands and hear the thoughts in my mind, the lusts of my heart and even in all of this filth, my God tells me that I am free to remain in Him because he delights in me.

So to you Lord I am faithful, others would not accept as I was, but you did; and you do.

You accept me as I am and you renew me in your spirit.

You will never give up on me.
Thank you my dependable God,
and thank you for all that is to come.
My dependable God.

He doesn't complete Her.
She doesn't complete Him.
They do not complete each other.
Only God completes us from within.

Thirty Nine
My hips got a little wider
And my chest grew a size or two
“Pay attention to your surroundings”
And
“Keep your head down to not cause unwanted attention”
Was all I heard
I had a hard time paying attention when all I saw was the ground

Bite your tongue
Your words are not worth saying
Bite your tongue
You'll be judged
Bite your tongue
You'll regret your words
Bite your tongue
