Let me hold on
Just a little bit longer
To these horrible thoughts
To these tasty treats
To these passionate images
And passionate words
That feed my anger
Like a ravenous fire.
And bring me back,
Daddy, safe and sound.
I seem to be
An erring teen.
And I�m going out
And You know what will happen.
And You�ll bring me back
Again.
I am unruly
I am running
I am a fast-developing teen
I am still growing
In awkward ways
And it seems I must first be a slave to be free
I am an adult
I am a child
Intentionally letting myself become lost
I am a rebel
And I�m re-born
As I find my way solely by feel to the cross.
