Independence Day [Poem]

I used to be desperate enough to kill

Just to rid myself of my depression

I'd try about anything just to breathe again

The decisions I made I regret with a zeal

Witchcraft, demon-hunting, believing a lie

About who God wanted me to be

Trusting a narcissist in a way

That I should've trusted the Lord

Trusting a broken knight more

Than I even trusted my own intellect

Trusting my fingers more than God's

Resisting the kindling of the Creator

The Lord only longed to re-create me and then

Around I went on the merry-go-round again

Dr. Jekyll, Ms. Christian, and back to it once more

Such flighty and clumsy bubblegum faith

Then, here comes my day, my Independence Day

Independence day, to depend on God first

And then have the faith to stand on His Word

Independence day, to let all idols fall to the ground

And then kneel before Christ my King

Independence day, to pick up the faith

And make the claim, "This faith is my possession!"

Independence Day, choosing to trust only Him
