Filled

Broken and weeping
Over who I am
Who I should be
But I am not

Fear haunted me
Telling me stories
That all were lies
Until I made them true

All the expectations
That I never wanted
But were made to bear
Are all unmet now

So let Love come
And be poured out
Now empty of myself
I may at last be filled
