I have no clothes.
Clothe me with your love.

I starve.
Feed me with your light.

I am crippled.
Carry me with your strength.

For though you recognize me not.
I am only you.

 I have no words.
Give me your tongue.

I have no thoughts.
Fill me with your wisdom.

I have no control.
Do not let me fall.

For though you recognize me not.
I am only you.

I fear the dark.
I hear voices at night,
The monsters scare me
And I retreat in fright.
I ask for your courage.

For though you recognize me not.
I am only you.

 I am confused in thought
The ways I cannot see.
All around me grow thistle and thorn
And all my flowers die with me.
I ask for your love.

For though you recognize me not.
I am only you.

 I have no strength.
I have no courage,
I have no truth.
I have no support.
I ask you to be my staff.

For though you recognize me not.
I am only you.

 When you turn away from me,

• I grow weaker still.

When you heed not my call,
My light fades.

When you blind yourself to my pain,
I cringe & grow small.

For though you recognize me not.
I am only you.

 I have thirst,

• I have hunger,

I have cowardice
I have fear.

I have anger,
I have jealousy,

I ask of you to forgive me.

For though you recognize me not.
I am only you.

I ask for respect.
I ask for love.
I ask for adoration,
I ask for worship.
I ask for reverence.

For though you recognize me not.
I am only you.

 You give your love to all who are lost
You feed and clothe those who are hungry.
You give your water to those who thirst.

But you do not see me.

For though you recognize me not.
I am only you.

 Look within and find me there.
I am the one who cries alone.

Look within and hear my call.
I am tired and defeated.

I am lost.

Save me.

For though you recognize me not.
I am only you.

 Did I do you such great harm
That you turn away from me when I call?

Did I slap you so hard
That you heed not my prayer at all?

Did I let you down?

• Did I let you fall

That today you do not pick me up at all?

For though you recognize me not.
I am only you.

I may be small but I am here.
I do exist in this same sphere.
Your every word I hear
But you do not know me at all.

For though you recognize me not.
I am only you.

 When you love you,
You will love me.

When you respect you,
You will respect me.

When you feed you,
My hunger is gone.

For though you recognize me not.
I am only you.

 I come to you folded hands in prayer,
I ask not for riches,
I ask not that you even care.
I only beg that you look at me.
I only beg that when you do, you see me

And yet when you see, you recognize me.
That I am only you, only you, only you.
