Sort

 

Sort yourself out,

Leaving no unhinged pieces.

Your perspective on life 

May require some new leases.

It's easy to get 

"Out of sorts," as they say;

But to "sort oneself out"—

That takes more than a day 

What's required in such sorting? 

A sober, clear mind; 

Being willing to hope 

There are answers to find.

Don't let Shame be your guide,

Lest the truth be contorted—

And never will issues 

Be properly sorted.

Be kind to yourself 

As you gather your footing, 

For the truth of your worth 

Should not be off-putting.

God says you are loved 

With a love everlasting, 

So if you feel "less than," 

It's time for re-casting.

Let the fire of His love 

Burn away every doubt, 

Taking fears that have bound you 

And casting them out—

So that you see His child 

That He made perfectly 

And stand tall as always

You were meant to be.

Seek the truth, sort it out, 

Stack it up til you see 

There's a whole lot of truth,

And it's setting you free! 

You may need others' help—

Let their strength help you rise,

And let your true face 

Be seen through God's eyes.

There may be great darkness, 

Depression, and woe—

But for healing to come, 

Let destructive thoughts go.

It may not be easy 

Or even seem right,

But take each small step;

Things won't change overnight.

Be patient, determined, 

And ready, in short, 

For your true self to be 

What's revealed in the sort.
