עִמָּנוּאֵל‎

I was hesitant to  
step onto the light  
I was the fear  
itself from within  
 
but I buried it well  
with the fearless veneer  
and drowned me  
in a quicksand  
staring at a rope  
over my head  
 
time to time  
you get a nudge  
to your toes  
lifting you up  
still, you refuse  
to grab the rope  
 
because  
you tremble at  
the voices inside  
 
they try to convince  
an escape doesn’t  
come this easy  
 
they try to take  
you to the bottom  
saying the true  
escape is there    
 
but it keeps  
nudging you  
levitating you  
 
and finally, you  
grab the rope  
with your  
brokenness  
weakness  
wickedness  
hopelessness  
tiredness  
and half closed eyes  
 
and today, I’m not scared  
of the darkness that ruined my days  
with a strengthened heart, a faithful soul  
a righteous spirit and I’m filled with hope  
 
because,  
 
עִמָּנוּאֵל‎   Immanuel  
God is with (us) me
