I long for renewal,
to be reinstituted into
those waters that i was born into,
those waters that submerged me into
purity and trapped me until i had
the urge to escape.
I long for acceptance,
not from mortals
whose worthy is untold and unseen,
whose sincerity is disputed,
and whose smiles are superficial,
but from Him,
whose face produces splendor,
whose eyes are unmocking,
merciful despite my uncleanliness
and whose approval is all I need.
I desire beauty,
not the distorted beauty,
covered with impure substances,
surreal commodities,
and stolen satistactions,
but the unpalpable beauty
that surpasses all human understanding,
that brings brightness unto
the shadiest of souls,
that produces authentic smiles
and twinkling eyes
despite the dark world
that so thoughtfully
attempts to encage us,
with its impurities
and undeserved acceptance.
I yearn for love,
to love and be loved by that genuine soul,
who will respect me and care for who I am,
who will consider my past,
understand my present,
and encourage my future.
who will love me quietly,
embrace me publicly,
and support my goals,
even if they seem unobtainable.
He might seem surreal,
but I know he exists,
in my mind, in my heart,
and somewhere in this world,
thinking the same thing
I am thinking about him.
