It’s OK.

Today I felt quite a bit overwhelmed

I felt disappointed and frustrated

And thought that I wasn’t enough for the job.

Then I did what I could and took a small break

And told myself I’m not bad, just human.

I also prayed, which helped me a lot,

Because that’s how God sees me too-

Not bad, just wonderfully weak

Which helps me want to reach for Him.

It’s on purpose that we were made that way.

I don’t actually have to do it all,

Thinking I do is my downfall.

If I want to grow, I have to go

Back and remember what makes me me.

And let myself breathe and smile and do

All that I love, and just be me

I want to stretch and I want to grow

But being brittle isn’t bending to be shaped,

It’s bending ‘til I break.

So let some softness in, I say.

It’s ok.
