You shouldn’t go all the way
It will only bring you pain
And the shame of coming clean
Almost too much to bare
Breaking free has a cross
They’ll redouble the search
For the misunderstood
For the schizos and manics
We can start over
You can lock the bars this time
I promise not to be free
Down the fire escape of my mind
I return to surrender to You only
Seeking absolution, an end to hunger
Bend my knees, the wheel won’t respond
If surrender equals knowledge
I give up all to You without chutes
I leave with more as I fall unashamed
He’s a mystery all the way down
He’s the brake in my careening
He’s the pedal in speed
Faster than light speed
He calms hearts to a trot
He is the origin of Facebook
Connecting us in communion
Like his church ever fractured
Since his descent
