Climbing the Heights

Are you still listening

Are you still listening
To the me beside myself
To the me that no one else sees
Beside me

You're always beside me
When I hide me away
And I have not words to say

For whose approval am I seeking 
Who's desires am I longing for
Where do I find my belonging 

When all that's said 
Is not said 
I long to be real
To feel
To heal

Am I but third best
Cannot I this reside to believe
Show me a love I know
Not of myself but comes from you alone

And help me to speak
With words of truth
That breathe proof
Of what I think

So help me
That I may not
Remove

From this scene
That I am in
But presently be
Here and now
Without fear

-Joshua Lee Foist
