I am the face of weakness
I am the king of cowardice
The hammer and nails
Impaling the flesh of Innocence
I am far from confidence
I am an eroding mountain
Trying to protect myself
From the elements around me
I am bare and exposed
I am not what I should be
But, I am becoming
More than I once was
I am at a dead end
I am standing firm
Against these gates
Of eloquence and despair
I am the searching soul
I am at a crossroads
I've come to know
As more friend than foe
I am the lion
I am the sheep
Nestled beneath
A wolf's cloak
I am a sinner
I am forgiven
Of my transgressions
Of lesson's never heeded
I am the clay
I am not the potter
Though I will give way
To the gloves of mercy's grace
I am healed
I am no longer seen
For my sins and shortcomings
But, through the blood of the Righteous One
I am that which
I AM created me to be
Reconciled
And, boasting in the Grace that set me free
