We crawl on the ground

We are burdened, beaten,
We crawl on the ground
when we should be climbing, soaring...
We believe the lies of Guilt, of Fear,
leading to judgement, to punishment,
leading to living death.
 
We circle from Guilt, to Fear,
a repetitive dialogue, a mantra,
Never worthy, good enough,
self-centered, self-condemnation,
of what we have done, repeating,
of what we cannot do now...
 
Fear and Guilt, these are the shackles,
we pick, that we choose to carry,
because we have been fed lies,
from the beginning...when,
by Grace, God's Goodness and Mercy
pursue us in this life.
