she's waiting...

Bitterness is a lonely wolf,
waiting in the shadows.
hungrily she waits
and watches your every move.

When the time is right, she'll slink right up behind you
and walk so very close.
eventually...
no one will know
which one is you, and which one is the wolf.

Bitterness is a great listener, so tell her how you feel.
She'll nod empathetically
while planning her next kill.

Bitterness is a wolf waiting for your call.
slinking in the shadows--she's plotting for your fall.

like jacobs' hip

i'm gun-shy of God
i am Jacob's hip.
i'm strong enough to strive
and shaky enough to slip.
i'm gun-shy of God.
gun-shy of getting shattered at the whim of God.
