Truth - always

Don't hide anything from me,
least of all your failings.
For I have whipped recital wings
against my own practiced body...
You have no idea.

You should know that

it's your failings that make you

oh.so.beautifully relatable.

"Perfect" people are just

the bottom step of a spiral ladder,

with lives that just keep swirling

above reality.

There is no profit in the untrue.

You think you weren't already worthy

enough in this heart,

propagated by God Himself?

My eyes have clouded

and my memory has dimmed...

but I know you.

I birthed you and grew you

under the roof my parents built above me

which they taught was THE WAY.

We all have history to dismantle

brick by brick

or to climb

step by step.

I tore it down sweetheart.

There was no foundation left,

or so I thought....

as if the physical removal of heart

could also brain matter

remove.

And so I dig.

And so should you.
