A Letter

Dear God:

I want you to be my only refuge
my only master
my only guide
my only comfort
my only focus
my keeper and first love.

Sincerely -

P.S. Whatever they see in me - will you let them know it is all and only you?

Breach

Daily I sink deeper thicker farther away
your soul no longer touches mine
the burn of inflicted self-consciousness
hindering the being of me
I cannot force my thoughts ambitions dreams
outside you expected criticism
it is impossible to endure
your relentless sneering dissappointment
I flinch and hold
waiting for the lashes and cuts -

So please
just take me out
swift and painless
don't let me feel
you brand that
everlasting stamp of
dissaproval
onto my heart.
