I.
He carves me out from what cannot serve me.
I feel the cut like searing and shame—
it bleeds away to relief
as I see I’m so much freer
through the pain and self-insult,
in the new spaciousness He spurred me into.

II.
My eyes were blinded
trying to belong in spaces others go,
places others know the lay of the land to connect in.
My ears couldn’t hear my heart there,
and my lungs stopped breathing deeply.
My hands grew idle with frustration,
and my mouth firmed shut.
We—He and I—can both agree
that wasn’t best for me, nor good.

III.
Solid relief found me
when I let go of everything
that kept me hostage,
even in the smallest corners of my life.
My heart began its burn
and stopped hiding in cloaks that only felt safe.
The energy I need to love and enjoy
found me and multiplied, magnetic.
He answers my every prayer
the moment it stirs alive from my heart as truth.
I am humbled.
Though not without difficulty,
it comes with all my needs realized—and met.
