All I Need to Know

I'm not gonna lie. I feel like that was a mistake..

To stir up all that **** and to promptly run away.

 

Maybe I was a little hasty; should've given it more thought.

Maybe I should've remembered the past; all the lessons it taught.

 

But do I reach out and admit it? Or continue on as is...

Do I ask you for help? Or keep struggling within....

 

How do I tell the others that I've pushed you out and hidden?

They'd know it was a bad idea without knowing any of what I've written.

 

Can I even say I'm sorry, confused, lost, and need help?

I'm not sure I can even admit it to you. Much less, to myself.

 

I want to be ten feet tall and bullet proof. But deep down, I know I can't.

I want to be a testament to His love and mercy. Deep down, I feel I can't.

 

Help? Please? I know that I was wrong. I didn't need to go..

I'm just so confused. But I know you can help. And that's all I need to know.
