Here

I am broken

I am whole

I am starving

I am full

My body yearns for contact

My mind is full of fear

My heart is simply racing

My spirit keeps me here

Here is where I’m meant to be

Here is where I learn

Here is where I run away

Here is where I turn

I turn inside

I want to hide

I know I’m not ok

I go outside

I want to cry

Know what I need to say

I trust I’m given everything

When at last I choose to burn

The truth emerges gracefully

When I release my obsession to earn

I burn what doesn’t serve me

Let go of pain that’s real

Burn what flames engulf me

Burn the ache I feel

But first I have to let it

Eat me up alive

I have to fall to get back up

To fail before I thrive
