I Am Humpty Jumpy

I believe in God because of answered prayers.
I believe in a just god, because I have prayed for understanding,
and some of the answers have been frightening.

I believe I am God's in both the wounds and the healing.
I am covered with my scars.  I am covered with his mark.
I have tried to make my own mark on myself,
But I cannot be both bound at the wrist and wielding the whip.

I am Humpty Jumpy, the broken made cracked.
I place my faith in the power of prayers
That my friends will never understand me.
