And after this manner of language had my mother complained against my father.

And after this manner of language had my mother complained against my father.

First Nephi. Chapter Five. Verse 3.

Complaining

shows a lack of faith

yet

also shows I'm human

Circumscribed

by mortal fears

while

stretching into the dark

Lashing

out at loved ones

when

the light grows dim within

Pleading

for new batteries

from

He who has no sin

Resolving

to think better

and

stay quiet when in doubt

Rejoicing

when my dread departs

replaced

by confidence reborn
