"Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds ways to kneel and kiss the ground." - Rumi


I built it all up, somewhere deep
In the recess of my own thoughts
A wonderful tale of the truest love
Written in my very own blood, sweat, and tears
I exalted it, like a god,
Giving my all, my being, to loving
But now I've come under siege
My walls are broken down
And I weep, helpless to defend myself
The people tell me all around
To be strong and of good courage
But I was never strong, no...
The only strength I ever had,
It all came from You
And again I'll swear before the King
Lead me, guide me, may Your will be done
I am not my own
