We’ve been here before
Years ago
Yet, this time
I’m not letting any fact
Slip through the cracks
My hazel eyes
Stare into the mirror
My reflection
Singing to me
There’s no place on earth
That hasn’t felt these fears
So, what’s the use in pretending
They aren’t there
For, all you’ve known
Your whole life
Is to put on the armor
And, fight with only one eye open
All on your own
Without a word to the army
You fight alongside
But, not this time
Oh, darling, no, not this time
No fact is slipping through the cracks
Truth has revealed
It’s time
To say yes to the fight
As the reflection in the mirror
Sings revelation
Into your heart and mind
So, with a fervency in your lungs
You stare back and repeat
This battle is already the LORD’s
And, my sword is not my own
So, victory is sweet, forever mine.

Thanks, friend! I had to re-read the poem because I forgot what I wrote…this poem was inspired from Exodus 14:14 💛

“My reflection
Singing to me” I really enjoyed! Like there’s a you inside you that knows how to fight and has been here before.
