Psalm 31

Yep, I ran to you,

crying and snotting and shivering like lost dog.

But, I am not ashamed.

You are my home,

my peace and my guiding star.

This I learned after years of failure and self-pity.

Took me long enough,

To learn how magnificent You are.

You have my grateful heart forever.

And now, I have a spine in my back and vision in my heart,

And this will not due, not for the those who loved me weak and afraid,

and use my gifts to prop themselves up like kings.

Regardless, You shine and me,

and I will not waste time or words on people bound to slave ways.

I’m no slave.

I’m a son of the King and will conduct myself as such.

Like those before me and the ones to come,

I will put my trust in the hands of the Lord.

He is our hope forever.
