Pt.1


Hold me down,

hold me down by my sickness and desire

My weighted loss, proof of my past prevails

Woven through a tapestry named strife

You’ve cut the thread

But now, holding to my eye,

I see

Nothing has changed, and may I have hoped for this

But never prayed for it,

Dare I hide anything from God?
