A Plea For Understanding

have patience with this faulty soul 

and require not all the answers and reasons from me just now 

make not requests for things I am at the moment unable to achieve 



have patience with this faulty soul 

and forgive me for all the shortcomings and mistakes I have made 

and will continue to make 

and the wrong roads I may end up taking 

and may currently be on 



bear with me for the ways I have so many plans and problems and responsibilities and requirements and bad hair days 

and yet cannot get of bed 



have patience with this faulty soul 

for the things you know I could be but at the moment I have not become 

for the way I am more of the child I should no longer be 

and less of the woman to which I should be progressing 



have patience with this faulty soul 

for the harm caused by girlhood altars and ill advised immature loves 

rash decisions 

chocolate 

and celebrity crushes 



have patience with this faulty soul 

for today standing to reach the sky 

and tomorrow huddling right back to the broken ground 



have patience with this faulty soul 

for this journey that I am taking 

and to which I have not yet found the destination
