who i am
cannot be measured
by pages read
words written
or posts published
i am not
quantifiable
defined by success
who i am
cannot be rated
by peer approval
or faculty accolades
i am not
qualitatively
subject to opinion
who i am
is only visible in mercy's light
undeserved redemption
i am not
what i do
i am not
who they think
i am
His
a story he's writing
his treasured possession
designed
equipped
freed
and released
...to magnify His goodness
and celebrate His grace
i am His
