Work in progress

Hmm
the day is beautiful,
yet empty inside
can I not be who I want?
is it beyond me?
perhaps this is the problem
it is...
learned humility
in the face of others
and the face of God
I can not stand
and say I am virtuous
I can not speak
and say I am good
I can not profess
purity

I am a sinner
unable to become
holy
save by asking
I am nothing
and will remain
empty
without the One.
