Be careful where you choose
To spend your effort

Because the efforts of
A billion celestial beings
Still burn in our skies
Centuries after they have gone silent

And you, you are no less
Incredible to behold

Wait long enough
And you can see mental health

In sunny smiles
Or suspicious scars
In honesty or
Insomnia
In a growing circle
Or a new addiction

And unless it's reversed
It's grows and grows till you know
With certainty not suspicion

He spoke and the world was
And the sun shone
And the grass grew
And man took breathe

And I am not mighty like He

When I speak
Neither the plants
Nor the sky
Nor life itself hears

But the God of them all does

And so I speak of him
Not in authority
Nor in eloquence
Nor perhaps in power

Only in complete and divine love

I fought for the confidence
To say I like who I am

To believe that I am worth the war
And I am proud of this victory
Above any other

In the past
I only saw what I hated

Later I saw
Qualities in me that I loved

Now I see only
Someone who is loved

Now I realize they are too different things
To be lovely and to be loved

And I'd rather be the latter
