WHO AM I?

[verseode]

            

        Who am I, I hear you ask
        Peering from my vacuum flask
        Snug and safe from all intrusion   
        No ingression, no confusion
        Allow you near to know my name   
        Light specifics is my game
        Try to rummage, I invert   
        Raise my shield to stop the hurt.

        Fear and envy clothe my soul   
        But the past has taken toll   
        I’m a jelly easily shaken   
        Worth and confidence forsaken      
        Come on in, but stay away   
        I’m not brave enough today   
        All this talk of God is fine   
        But He’s not a friend of mine.

        Why?, if He created me   
        Did He forget to oversee   
        The blooming of this butterfly   
        Free to live and touch the sky   
        Someone who is not afraid   
        To be an equal, debts all paid   
        Open, friendly, loving, kind
        Patient, tender, clear of mind.

        Come, Lord Jesus, break this mold   
        Breathe Your warmth into this cold   
        Draw me from the shadows deep   
        Shine Your light upon this creep   
        I want beauty, I want joy   
        Oh to be Your little boy   
        Start Your journey to my soul   
        Before the darkness takes its toll.
