Whole Burnt Offering

The real me is
confident
he's also fearful

A visionary that
often doubts

See my determination
Now I hide

Living with
integrity
and deceit

I look like I
have it
together
but I'm also
broken
The pieces seem
to contradict
but this is
the whole me

I bring it to You

Not dressed up in
Sunday best

Raw

Naked

I bring it to You

Triumph and failure

I place them on
a pile of stones

will You
send down fire
to consume them?
