trouble

i am not
backing off 
or down
or away
just because 
you named me trouble

trouble worries
comfort and privilege
arrogance and wealth
whiteness and maleness
but makes room for
Right
and
god herself troubled waters
to heal the sick
and
i may not
make a big difference
but may god
still trouble me
so that when others step into my pool
they are healed
and not drowned

so
trouble is now my new name
thank you
for
the
suggestion
i rather like
the way it sounds
