Hiding From Negativity

I can't take on your
negativity
can't incorporate your
bitterness
into my soul
can't answer for the
many gifts or blessings
you seem to believe
I receive
or justify the emptiness
resting at the mouth of
your valley


There has been a lifetime of pain
a gaping chasm
in each brick of my
foundation
now the holes are being filled
each miraculous blessing
a caulk along the
cracked seam
a reward for faithfully
focusing on Him

So I can't turn sideways
and lay witness to your hate
provide vindication for your
cruelty
turn blind eye to your
callousness
I can't take on
your negativity
