En Theos

Saturday was a big treat.

I was on a high after Dr. AR Bernard took over the stage.

When you see me scribbling furiously on my black notebook,

You know you've gotten me.

When I was a kid,

I feared expiration.

Electricity. Water. Trees. Oil.

Mother's attention.

Friendship.

Grandmama.

Brainpower.

Music.

and more.

It began when I was three.

I still remember the series of anxiety

It was like a swarm of ants

Dripping from my mind

And nibbling at my heart.

I could never find my answer.

I could not find Forever.

But today,

I no longer fear.

I will not allow anyone touch

My bond with Eternal.

He is my forever.

Forever I am with Him.

Our union is sealed.

Everywhere I go, Forever is.

I am so breakable.

Yea, I have weaknesses.

I have limited capacity.

I can never keep up with the best.

I'm not Miss Popular.

I'm not Miss Universe.

I'm not Miss Most-Brainy.

But really,

I don't care.

Because even if I had all,

Without Forever,

I'd never be whole.

I used to acknolwedge my strengths

And made them my security

But later got crippled by my pride

And could walk no more.

Now,

I acknowledge my frailty

But I do not despise my humanity.

I do my best,

While I let Forever take over.

He never fails.

He never weakens.

He never disappoints.

He never expires.

He's Forever.

My Forever.
