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
