Shaken
When everything is falling apart,
Everything is breaking, your heart
Feels like a cheap commodity
Tossed about in and out of shops,
Left feeling tarnished and dirty.
And your faith? Oh, your faith.
When your prayers float out
And you’re not even sure about
How far to heaven they float
Or even if they go anywhere at all.
Life falls apart.
And so do you.
But you build again.
Work through the pain.
And, right now?
Wanting to scream
And split the seam,
It’s okay.
And it’s okay to be shaken.
Faith and all.
