So Defensive

“Stop being so defensive!”
I was rightly corrected thus some weeks back.
It rose in me again this week.

It’s ugly, I know. But when someone accuses
My parenting, my marriage …
I want to defend.

But sometimes defense is more like
An onslaught, and it leaves both
The accused and the accuser worse off.

I am undone. I am a person of unclean lips.
And my eyes have seen the King,
The LORD of hosts.
