I've Let Go

This is one of Andrew's first poems. He wrote it in the summer of his Junior year in High School.

"I’ve let go and given in so easily.
I heard your warning fall softly on my ears.
I cant say that I put up much of a fight for you.
I’ve fallen farther away these past few years.

I have no bravery, I have no faith.
I’m a long, long, way from moving mountains.
Have mercy on a fool today, that’s all I pray.
This dried out mouth longs for a fountain.

I’ve stumbled and fallen underneath your sun.
I’ve stumbled and fallen in your light.
I’ve tried to make up for all the things I’ve done.
But only nails and thorns can make it right."
