Lament

I am split between two worlds, O God
both war for my sexuality day and night
both filled with anger and confusion
both certain they hold the truth
The long and narrow path is rocky; lonely
my shoes don’t fit
I watch a friend attempt it
I cannot walk it for him
And yet, the view from here is beautiful
the freedom is exhilarating
the sun illuminates everything
the wind drowns the noise from below
Your faithfulness cannot be captured into moments
it is complete and perfect
it corrects my path gently
it is continually fulfilling the call you’ve placed on my life
And you will not let me go.
