WHO AM I ?

              

          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.
