Who is with you?
You are important
Despite the echoing distress
Caused by all the rest
***
Who whimsically abhorred you
And tried to make you feel small
Nice to say it didn’t effect you at all
***
But truth is – it lay upon you in layers
Layers and layers of thoughtless flippancy
When your self-image was in it’s infancy
***
Growing up with those layers of pain
Some remembered – some buried deep
Causing over-reaction exhaustion and sleep
***
You didn’t understand it yourself
When you were the person you didn’t want to be
Then you learnt how to make the devil flee
***
Weakest saint upon your knees
You exchanged your life for another
Now you are His ‘mother and His brother’
(Luke 8/21)
