What Am I?
What am I
Without a book in my hand
a podium to stand on
a speech to deliver?
What am I
Without money in my pocket
stilettos on my feet
a witty comeback on my lips?
What am I
without a project to build
a due date to meet
a service to render?
What am I
without a job
without family
without friends?
What am I
Alone
naked
scared
*
What am I
without worries to tangle me
pressure to weigh me down
stress to consume me?
What am I
without pride to trap me
arrogance to make me ignorant
prejudice to blind me?
What am I
without a status quo to maintain
the Jones to keep up with
expectations to meet?
What am I
without cares
without structure
without identity?
What am I?
Free
satisfied
adventurous?

God strips us of all we hold dear, so we might know the truth about our own hearts. I’ll be rereading this. Thanks.
