Come Alive

Come Alive

I’ve made myself
small
insignificant
undistinguishable
my needs, my life, myself
small
whispering offenses
be quiet arguments
scarcity, anxiety, depravity
Find you voice, Child
speak 
truth in Love
Come alive, child
breathe 
slowdown, trust yourself
and the God 
that is in You
abundance, peace, fearless
Be the girl who
raises her hands in worship
shouting 
praise
 Come Alive.

Ah, Melissa, it sounds like an internal conflict between what has been subtly taught, and what you know to be true about yourself. Live your truth, Melissa, be alive! Be you! Welcome to Poetry Soup, my friend.
