Draining the Ocean

I’ve suppressed so much inside of me, positive and negative.
The accumulation has grown to the size of an ocean.
However large I protect it discreetly, with great precision and intensity.

This creates a dilemma, now that I feel God leading 
me into a place of greater expression, a place
that will lead to the draining of my coveted ocean.
In this place the days of the small, sprinkle-sized expressions 
come to an end

I’m scared of this place. 

If my ocean is drained you will see who 
I really am - that is my biggest fear.

My mind hates this, but my Spirit knows I 
need this

It’s all so crazy, but if God is truly behind this I know He
is not the author of confusion.

With that said, I guess it’ll all just have to make
more sense as my coveted ocean drains….
