I GET IT

"YOU WILL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH."
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING."
"YOU ARE STUPID AND UGLY, AND, LEST I FORGET,
YOU BELONG IN AN INSANE ASSYLUM."
I GET IT.
I DON'T BELONG.
IN OTHER WORDS, THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME.
I WILL DO WHATEVER MY SWEET JESUS
ASKS OF ME.
WHO AM I TO QUESTION HE WHO CREATED ME?
EVEN IF I EXPRESS MYSELF THROUGH POETRY,
WHO ARE YOU TO SAY
I DON'T HAVE A SAY?
WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME I AM NOT DESERVING
OF LOVE?
I KNOW I'M DIFFERENT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRILL IT INTO ME
RELENTLESSLY.
I KNOW I DON'T BELONG.
BUT THE HARSH WORDS?
NEED THEY CONTINUE TO THIS DAY?
I GET IT.
I'M AN EMBARASSMENT.
I'M THE ONE TO BLAME.
BUT GUESS WHAT?
MY SWEET JESUS, MY KING,
JEHOVAH JIRAH,
CALLS ME BEAUTIFUL.
AND THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME.


PSALM 139:14 - I PRAISE YOU BECAUSE I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE, YOUR WORKS ARE WONDERFUL, AND I KNOW THAT FULL WELL.


PSALM 34:18 - THE LORD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKENHEARTED AND SAVES THOSE WHO ARE CRUSHED IN SPIRIT.
