a poem of mine

I wrote this poem a couple years ago for a Systematic Theology course. I dusted it off recently and thought I'd share it with you all. Its on the topic of God's omniscience, His all-knowing, all-seeing attribute. Enjoy.

You See

You see.
You see me.

You see me, 17.
On the park bench in the still of the night
Crying out to you.
Asking for strength
To fight the dark things inside.

You see me, 19.
On my knees
Surrounded by turning trees
And falling leaves,
Turning from me,
Falling on you.

You see the propped up ego
The self I still cling to.
The foundation,
The façade,
That is crumbling
Under the weight of your reality.

You see my thoughts,
The thoughts that I thought
I could get away with thinking.

You see.
You see me.
The me that I want to be,
Not the me that I was,
But the me that you created me to be.

You see.
You see me.
Through the blood
Of the one who set me free.
Thank God,
I am free!
