Inadequate
I hate the smell of my shortcomings. To not be able to do more. To not be able to relate better. To not be able to fight off the night. To not be able to shake off the template-matching others make. To not be able to brush off the arrows of the enemy.
To see my inadequacies juxstaposed and compared. To come to the border of covetousness and looking over its edge.
This is why I need God. This is why I can't have my old self. To keep my burning heart from turning into self-immolation.
