I want to feel my life

I don’t want to see it from the other side

I don’t want to be free of it

I just want to be free of all of this



I’m not alone

Although I feel it

Although I am swan-necked,

Yearless,

Unsinkable,

I have Him with me



He knows my story

He knows I’m stronger than I feel,

But sometimes—just sometimes—

I feel totally empowered,





but I’m stuck powerless
