The Denouement

God, I've known you
Since I was a little girl.
You've always been apart of me
but never my whole world.

You've always been a character
in the plays I've produced
but instead of being the protagonist
you've been a character I could lose.

I'm tired of being the playwright
and having empty theater chairs.
Lord take over the directing
Lord hear my broken prayers.

I'm tired of producing nothing
I'm ready to let go.
Lord take over everything
I've reached my plateau.
