—
It feels like too much,
Being human right now.
Too painful
Too messy
Too layered.
Every outlet I go to,
Leaves me empty
Needing more
But not sustaining me
Every channel I turn to
Triggers me, Consumes me,Craves my attention
The headlines seek to startle me,
And they do.
—And I am paralyzed sometimes
In my grief,
In my despair.
In my sense of no direction
In my desire to hide my face in the ground
It hurts,
Being human right now.
My cuts are open
And the band aids keep slipping off
The elements keep burning and stinging me
I want peace
I seek peace
I own the peace within me
My soul is thirsty
I need water
Living water
Deep water
I need peace to wash over me,
Fill me up,
Keep me afloat
Clear my mind
I need pace to rescue me.
I’m human, so human.
God, you are the peace that I need.
