Redemption

"... it is the unaccepted self that stands in my way
and will continue to do so as long as it is not accepted. "
Thomas Merton, A Search for Solitude.

Broken-hearted, 
uncertain
of my sullied worth,  
beaten down, degraded 
to my basic earth, 

you gaze on me,  
and I see a new light.
My face grows brilliant
in your radiant sight.

You find in me
what I cannot see,
and teach me
to love
humanity.
