"everything is forgivable
I'm young / learning / human / imperfect
forgivable"

I see fire and slaughter and suffering and fear.
"You are not able to serve the Lord, for he is a holy God.
He is a jealous God;
he will not forgive your transgressions or your sins."
{not everything's forgivable.}

not those careless words of mine that slid their way into your belief,
that shuddered your flimsy sense of worth,
misappropriated your reality.
you won't find your way for years after all the damage I've done.

I'm bound to tell the truth. My arguments grieve the Spirit, and here I am condemning myself because of my guilt.

----
I'm smiling at you, don't you get it?
You're not that important;
you don't hold up the sky under your arms.
It won't collapse when you fall.
Hungry needy child you want a lover
Here's my body to warm your own (My own)
I know what you need.

I have heard your cries.
(Why have I made you so?
Seek me and find me.)
I am pleased with you.
It is enough.
