How To Be Good

Lord, how do I honor you?
I feel unclean, unpure
Lost in a world of dark confusion
And feelings that boil red-hot
Just under the surface of my skin
When he kisses me.
I pray for strength, though perhaps
Teenagers
Are supposed to
Just be
Good girls and boys that sneak into dark corners.
I want to follow Christ, yet
My heart and my hips want to go
Different directions.
Lord, give me strength.
