Guest post from Rebekah Wegener

 

For the battles I’ve fought
And the battles I’ve lost
For the battles I will continue to fight
For the day when I’ll want to live

For the bathroom-floor battles
When I thought all was lost
And the silent steady defiance
in nevertheless breathing .

For the nights when I prayed
That I wouldn’t see dawn
And for the catch in my breath
When I caught the sun rise

To use my voice loud and strong
With those who are speaking
And for those who suffer silently
Stifled by shame and fear

For the all the times I’ve planned
Not to see tomorrow
Then for fleeting moments
When I’ve dared to hope I would

To sucker-punch the shouting voice
That says I don’t belong
To refuse to accept
That I’m not enough

For the mountain top soul-words
For the still quiet presence
For the times I’ve known my name
For the way He speaks

For the me that didn’t know
For the me that doesn’t know
That I am the author
I choose how my story ends

I’ll see you tomorrow

Tomorrow needs me

Tomorrow needs you
