CAPACITY FAIL

So much pressure
To fill an unknown mission
Too many ingredients
And cooks in my kitchen

There's no way out
Of this tangled mess
I need help
Not ashamed to confess

I perceive a light
I will follow, just to see
Maybe it knows the way
And it will be revealed to me

Barely getting out
Of tight binds of fear
In great sorrow and grief
I find the light draw near

Feeling loss of perfect plan
When others can't perceive
Heart close to hurt
Prevents the possibility to receive

I see now, in every failure
The capacity to deepen and grow
The mission is never lost
Because the nervous system can't hold

...His glory
