No pedestal needed

I don't know about her, but I know about me

I don't need money, trinkets, pretty little benefits

You don't have to have accolades, cars, privilege
I suppose those things are all fine and nice
and I do like them sometimes maybe

But what I really want....
You can take everything away above, everything single thing
and all I really want at the end of the day,
is to be loved,
to be treated with respect,
I want, that if you thought about me at all.... that it was nicely
that in your heart you hold a space for me always, above any other
with my best intentions always in your soul
and that
if you needed to be with another female, male, whatever (non-binary)
that you'd be completely honest before it even started
because you know I'd want to know
and I would do the same for you.  Pedestals would just complicate all love making.... or wait....

I won't be scared

God help me to never be scared

God help me to trust in you completely

God help to trust your plan

God help me to treat all with kindness

God help me to lead my life with love

God teach me to be brave, every minute, every day

Arms extended to the world in your honor

Arms extended in love for everyone, at all times, no matter what

Can you please help me God.  I feel fragile.  I am scared. I have hangups.  I have skeletons. I have ego and so much more.

I know you God.  I know your love.  I must love myself no less than you love me.  I will forgive myself.  I will support myself unconditionally.  And once I can demonstrate this in reality I can echo it through the world.

And with that I will be saved.
