Walls.

Made up of bronze, with bars of iron-
put into place in fear.
God, please let me keep these walls-
security is needed here.

Safety lies within these walls-
change not a welcomed guest.
Simply let out things understood-
and hold on to the rest.

Faith is irrelevant-
"these walls will keep me safe."
Trust unnecessary-
"these walls won't let me cave."

To believe in You; to believe in me-
there is no need.
The idol wall of fear and shame-
will help me to succeed.

Yet CLEARLY You speak-
though Your voice a whispered sound.
"Be soft, be open, trust in Me-
throw idols to the ground."

Fear, gripping my soul-
like chains around my wrists.
He simply whispers, "follow-
drop your plans, desires, and lists."

"I WILL PROTECT YOU-
because you are not living life.
You're worshipping control-
like with numbers, vomit, or knife."

So I walk forward-
direction always a mystery.
Surely now aware-
my life is only history..
     in the making..
          courage is awakening.
