Why didn’t you…
Do what I needed you to do
Say what I needed to hear
Think about what I needed
Love me
Why didn’t you…
care about anyone
other than yourself
Why didn’t you…
lift me up
instead of tear me down
Why didn’t you…
keep your promises
or take care of me
Why didn’t you…
fix it
when you had
so many chances
Why didn’t you…
listen to my cries and
hear my heart breaking
as my world shattered
my life forever colored
Why didn’t you…
love me?
But
The hurt
The rage
They will not rule me
Because
It doesn’t matter
what you did
or what you didn’t do
I have value.
God listens to my cries
and holds me tight
God uses my shattered colors
to paint a beautiful canvas
God honors me and loves me
for exactly who I am
even with the hurt
even with the rage
God sees my worth
even when you
even when I
can’t.
Know My Worth

Oh, this one could have been the cry from my own soul! How beautifully you struggle with the hard choice to forgive, the hard choice to live despite not getting what you needed to thrive, the hard choice to look beyond what is shattered to the mosaic that is being woven from its broken pieces…I walk this journey with you, to reaffirm your value, to uplift you in your journey!
