you are reserved. quiet. ashamed.
shy.
he holds you down. you brace yourself.
he humiliates you. you internalize the shame.
he tortures you. you fight back the tears.
you dare not speak. to avoid another round.
you dare to speak. his force intensifies.
you fume. on the inside.
you are calm. on the outside.
you are a child. he is an adult.
you can only. survive. for now.
you shy away. from trusting.
you juggle. hope and fear.
you balance. pain and sorrow.
jesus faced opposition. endured the cross. suffered betrayal.
he gets you. knows you. forgives you. loves you.
he made you. to endure. persevere. overcome.
because of jesus-
you survived. you are still overcoming.
