A cry to solace

Someone told me... "You look like you're going through the most..."
Was it that bad? I didn't realize it....
My frustrations, my anger... always tucked in... never present when it matters. 
It seeks the light when it's already done... when I'm depleted, destroyed, delayed...
It sits quietly for fear of disturbance...
For fear of what it could mean...

But what if...?

What if it was the sanctuary? 
The freedom
The upliftment
The change needed
The whip into shape

What if?

What if a let fear drift ceaselessly away?
Drip through me
Expunge out of me

I don't need fear
Fear needs me...
And I no longer want to be needed...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
