~~New Ways~~

It's a new way of life.

A new method.

A broken plan,

Shadowed grove.

I'm beginning--

But am I alone?

This is the only life

I have ever known.

How do I ask

For help from a stranger?

How do I admit

I need someone?

How do I say

I'm slipping?

How do I realize

What's wrong?

I have no faith.

No real trust.

I'm barely strong enough.

But....I'll be alright.

I can do this.

I can find God.

Find love.

Find meaning.

Lost and broken.

Destroyed and burned.

I can fight again.

I can be strong.

I never claimed

To be whole--

So now I'm admitting it.

I haven't been well.

I've never been well.

I'm going to get through it.

Going to breathe.

Just trust me.

I will enjoy

This new way

Of living

My blessed life.
