On May 5th the 12:2 held an event called more than this.  It was to open up Jesus to people who did not know him. That event inspired this poem. 

More than this
more than just waking up going to bed

More than what you fear
Fear you can conquer
more than the fear of taking a bad picture
not wanting to post
more than a feeling insecure
not wanting to be seen
embarrassed of how they look
trying anything to be how the world wants
make it how you want
make it stand out
more than the fear of confidence
afraid of what might be said
feel at your best
don't let there thoughts invade
persuade you to change

More then the fear of looking fake 
Worried about being authentic
let your personality explode
the mask is hard to wear now
figuring out it's made out of glass
sharp corners intersect raw edges
how do we really know who we are

More than the fear of having nobody 
find someone who loves the real you
dulls those corners with every sentence
polish each minute cherish every hour
show us your best nurture the vulnurable
just let them be thst rock
being that angel who sees your wings
encouragement to finally fly

More than the fear of acceptance
looking for a group to belong
that niche you fit into
acceptance is not jumping fast
scout out speak the same language
a way to connect the grey
finding two or three groups to call home

More than the fear of rejection
expect a yes receive a no
letting your emotions take over
wondering if it was your fault
halt any sense of want why bother
deciding to switch it up
one yes can turn into 100 yes moments

More than the fear of failure 
try something new this year
you might be good at first
not quite understanding how to do it
become a winner over the fear
just not how we go about it but
how we handle the result

More than the fear of letting go
the past has already taken place
keep the memories photos advice memories
heal what runs negative patterns
breathe in new rich thoughts
I am learning to love my body type
I am a beauty full of great ideas
I am confident in my abilities
I love how my words bless others
I love hearing his words
I am controllingmy anxious energy
I am better I am worthy
I am letting in new ways of seeing

More than the fear of the unknown 
the future blank canvas sits
hide in lighted paths
batteries of your flashlight never die
meeting at the dark starry sky
walk around and see with night vision
canvas holds threads of leaps,bounds
great adventures found buried
world becomes known once again

More than if you're being still
you are always moving each second
creating noise making progress
check this off a never-ending list
things less important overtime
be still by the sun's rays
charter those ocean bays
notice whats around you
and how we create the blur

More than the fear of a life unfulfilled 
time is measured by days and hours
each day you have a choice
what time to get up
where to drive what to eat what to do
people do so much yet so little
easy to make life busy
 what are you using your time for
make it wise make a purpose
see time in detail
 details used to move beyond our selves

More than a fear of not being perfect
onre thing out of place
that one thing judgeable
people will love you more
just be yourself
