Sarah Kettle Poet Free verse

Rejection Into Self Acceptance

Fight back tears
Certain fears
Felt rejection
Choose election
Acceptance of self
Use a book upon a shelf
Look into why 
Let that little girl cry
Stay in tune
For what’s coming soon
Is big change from within
With the guidance and love from Him
He knows my name
And what I fear
I hear His answers clear
Thank you for this day
Forever with Him is what I pray
Thank you God for all You’ve done
Got me through when I was young
Now I’m in just today
Holding Your hand
One of many in the band

Jeff Kyser February 9, 2022 at 12:27 PM Good job! Ive been trying to write what I would call "reversal" poems as well, where they start in one direction and turn to another - usually from negative to positive, like this one. Modern day psalmists, eh? :-) Sarah Kettle February 9, 2022 at 3:42 PM Lol, ty appreciate it, knowing I’m on the right track!
