control

if i’m honest that’s always been my
happily ever after empty dream come true
the blessing turned to curse never curing my
insides curled up
deeply embedded fear lining my stomach
the poison apple come to destroy my peace

but You break me out of my coma
and i collapse gasping into Your arms
exhausted from the fight that was never mine
to begin with
You teach me to breathe again
and comfort me with the words
“I will fight for you, just be still.”
