breaking boxes pt. 2

breakin' down these boxes that need shippin' to every soul

to help others understand

how we were left with a man who broke out of the box of people's misconceptions n changed all of history with his existence

i'm here to tell you, all of who Jesus is, could never be boxed in

you may think He is one thing but, I can guarantee he's much sweeter and better than our limited lens

he's broken out of every box I've put him in and shown me the limits to his love are nonexistent

he’ll break every box to get to you

broke out of Heaven to show the world a love not even the Heavens could contain

no matter what I've done

his love rushes in and shows me it's my heart that his eyes fall upon

in love with me

and it's allowed me

to break free and be who i'm meant to be

kind n crazy

gentle n shrewd

broken, yet a masterpiece

multifaceted

i'm breaking out of the boxes I've been put in

and i'm here to tell you

that you can too

letting go of the limited perceptions of what people say

not allowing it to bring me down to their limited levels of thinking

expending all their energy

when little do they know me or all i've been through

or the tears that have been cried at night, begging God to answer my why's

boxes, boxes, I'm putting them down

assumptions have to go

layin' down my preconceived notions of who I am and even the individuals i'm around

they're changing day by day, evolving with every circumstance and every change they face

they face lots of stuff… things that can either break them down or break out of the very box they've put themselves in

what if the box you're trying to neatly pack and leave in the closet

is the very one you're meant to unwrap and unpack

unpack all of what you've been through and watch as you break through the limits that have been placed on you

you can evolve

you can grow too

and let the break down

be the very thing that releases all that has been broken inside of you

pieced back together by the peace of his love

he's unfolded me, broken me down as easily as cardboard

and made me into someone who won't fold

under the pressure that comes

I'm breaking through, minding my business, writing on the side, and drinking my water while freedom rises within

“And to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.” 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
