sometimes
I feel like a caged bird
longing for freedom
to fly
expectations falling hard
why I need grace
not to do whatever I want
to live flippant in sin
but only because
my heart so full
of the not
just never enough
and shame
burrowing its head
into my soul
so flawed
and imperfect
and hovering behind a wall
of unsuccessful attempts
and it exhausts
until this vulnerability
catching my breath
and turning me around
to see
Jesus
calming my fears
with His presence
restoring my broken
with His grace
and breaking my heart
with His love
and then
having permission
to be both flawed and loved
freed
to be myself
no longer needing
to fly
