here is what i realize
when i gaze in the my own
mirror of serised:
it's not those things which
would rank in just about
anyone's top ten list of
what we know we shouldn't do.
it is
hopelessness gnawing
at my weary heart,
it is the seduction of those who
intentionally choose cruelty,
it is that deep longing
to just throw in the towel
when i should be wiping
the tears of another's struggles,
it is that lingering doubt
that maybe seeking justice,
doing kindness, and following
God really are outdated.
those are the sins crouching
on the porch outside my
soul.
