Wrestle

All I can do is wrestle

With these internal

And external conflicts

And all of the things you said

And experience has shown

I cannot always hope to be as close

As the child inside my heart wishes to be

For God knows well enough

That humanity is complex

We struggle in so many ways for knowledge

Connection

And also to be free

And living and relating with others

Is at times a massive quandry

What to leave and what to take

When to stick by

And when to forsake

What has outlived its use by date

So today if I wrestle

Let me see that as something positive

Its okay to admit I don’t have all of the answers

Its also okay to give second and third

And even 100 new chances

For in wrestling I learn something

Through struggle I birth

And through uncertainty

I am open to change

As well as growth
