Kneeling

All our lives,
we become strong.
We hide our vulnerability
at being mistaken; being wrong.

Yet you hear one voice
saying to set yourself free
become uninhibited;
fall to your knees

See the world through a child's eyes
if it suits you, pray.
Feel small again
discover the meaning of today.

Ask for forgiveness,
or for someone to spend their life with you
show respect and loyalty
or fall apart from all you've been through.

Knowingly let judgement be passed
in your vulnerable state
trust in those around you
else lose all faith

Let yourself fall,
let yourself feel
nothing more than the truth
set aside your pride and kneel.
