Lord, I’m torn apart.

I wanna be like Jesus in my heart,
Lord, in my heart. I also wanna live.
So what’s it gonna be? It’s him or me—
I can’t go schizophrenic on a mixed
up, messed up maniac messiah and
be sane—and not to mention happy—so
I need to be like something genuine
and—more than like, but actual—within
whatever faith attempts I undergo.
Lord, I don’t wanna die. Don’t reprimand
my honesty (I’m sure you won’t). I’ve fixed
my hope on you and I don’t wanna be
undone and broken; what is faith to give
to wanton wreckage? Lord, I’m torn apart.
