Self Love 2020
Don’t try to be me
when there’s a galaxy
of personalities
to be
or not to be
there’s no question
on who you decide to see
in the mirror
when you stand there
and see the man (or woman)
clearer
and focus solely
on becoming holy
in matrimony
with yourself.
You weigh more than i 2019
yet i am still not worthy
for love and grace
but i am still deserving
my mind is dirty
but You bring me in with such an embrace
yet i am still not worthy
i am always begging for mercy
“oh Lord please, i know You’re someone i always misplace”
but i am still deserving
and look, Lord, i am still learning
to seek Your most glorious face
yet i am still not worthy
i know our relationship is still not sturdy
and i know my past disrespect towards You can’t be erased
but i am still deserving
and one day i will see those gates so pearly
with You on the throne, Your rightful place
yet i am still not worthy
but i am still deserving
