Failing:
17 years of living, yet my heart is still unable to grasp the meaning of this dangerous and life consuming word.
17 years of living; and yet my heart is still too small to envelop and embrace the cold tragedy of this word.
So here's to 17 years of failing to understand the magnitude and violence of this word.
I stood, in awkward silence and reverence.
I whisper, a lot softer than I meant
My words, sinking through beneath the wooden planks
This sanctuary becomes dense; my knees give way.
God?
My hands shake
No, not again.
Please.
