Allow Me

Can I be honest?
Can I risk your opinion of me changing?
Can I be allowed to reveal my frailness

my doubts and insecurities

Can I be truthful
Can I release?
There is so much in my tears

they are my courage
they carry my strength
they help me remember that i  have limitations
I am not GOD
and it is okay

I don't have to have the answers
I don't have to like my circumstances

I get angry
i pray
I cry
I repeat

Allow me to be honest
Allow me to be human
I can be nothing else
