I am no longer
afraid to be a human being
to feel the sunshine
beat down on my skin
to feel the rain
soak me
to feel the pain
of stubbing my toe
against the railings
to walk barefoot
on the cold concrete
while dressing my wounds
I am afraid of
living a life
without purpose
a life filled only
with the selfish desires
of my flesh.
I am afraid
of my soul dying
without
knowing You.
