bite my tongue

bite my tongue and wait to bleed

chaos for simplicity

slaughtering each layered thought

to sacrifice what i was taught

am i pleasing men or serving God?

being wise or taunting His rod?

am I seeking out His perfect will?

or is there a reason for my standing still?

slowly learning compromise

bringing worry down to size

taking deep breaths in the out

inhaling confidence and exhaling doubt

the critic that lies inside

is slowly creeping in form of pride

it takes everything just to push it down

it always seems to come around

God please help me to discern

the things that address concern

wipe the blood that ran down my neck

look at me, i'm such a wreck
