The Fragile Person in the Mirror

I see myself and I cannot deny all the things that I think define me crumble right before my eyes

I say I am going to run and hide but the day starts to become a testimony of all my inward cries

I ask God to relieve me but the Holy Spirit convicts me to be content no matter what the circumstance is

My heart says fully surrender but sometimes my mind wants to continue to give pride a chance

My spiritual journeys are full of twist and turns but I beg for no pardons for human nature to understand

My story is not even my own to write, which means sometimes hindsight will not provide any further insight

Therefore, I cannot apologize for being imperfect just because I am not the person everyone likes

The humility you see on my face is the result of me confronting the facts of my life

Who I am is not something I am ashamed of or is it a cause for which I have to struggle to fight

I am accepting reality there is a fragile person in the mirror

In addition, the message to me is it is time to stop living an unexamined life
