Slowly Fear, and Sweet
Dear God,
You've probably heard this prayer
a thousand times over, and yet
I feel like I need to say it everyday
even if it's just for me
each day I realize how scary
this world really is
and even more how frightening
it is inside myself
if only it were so easy to let go
as if there is something
I want to keep inside
like if I truly to let go
I'd lose something
even though my mind is a war zone
but there is just
a little something that
hangs onto the notion of You
help me to love people
outside of myself
please guide me to walk,
slowly fear, and sweet
