NEVER ABANDONED Poisonous thorns have become my shroud As I grapple with self in this cage Sharp swords I wove in my mind Encompassing the walls of my cell Oh Goddess I cry “where art thou?” Why do these walls oppose Her access? My hidden denial so strong She will not pass Dangerously have I sought guidance Voraciously devouring others bound leaves Now Dead trees litter my den Destructive evidence of useless insight In agony I embrace my spiked tomb For this is where the madness loved me Cursing self and others for my bondage I gnash the key of freedom A barricade on my heart A numbing depressor for my thoughts Yet the door of my cell swings inward No locks or latch can bar the way I have become bound by my own action Incarcerated by my own will She waits…like She always has for me For She too has known madness and exile ~~Thy Daughter, A Green-Muilenburg

Standing on this mountaintop Looking at just how we've come Knowing that for every step You were with us Never once did we ever walk alone Never once did you leave us on our own You as re faithful, God, you are faithful

Knowing that despite my feelings, despite any circumstance- I am #neverabandoned and #neverunloved. #BlessTheLordOhMySoul! #HeIsMighy (Taken with Instagram)
