I've Got To Talk To Somebody, God - Marjorie Holmes

"I've got to talk to somebody, God.
I'm worried, I'm unhappy.  I feel inadequate so often, hopeless, defeated, afraid."

"Walls of self, Walls of silence.  Even walls of words.
For even when we try to talk to each other new walls begin to rise.  We camoflauge, we hold back, we make ourselves sound better than we really are.  Or we are shocked and hurt by what is revealed.  Or we sit privately in judgement, criticizing even when we pretend to agree."

"But with you, Lord, there are no walls."

"You know the good of me and the bad of me, you already understand."
