I could have written… to you, for you

But how could I? On what basis would I write to you?
But what could I possibly say?
Who could I advise?
What would I tell you?
When my own authority is gone
Due to the weight of my sin
Due to the weight of my guilt

Now I understand David
He said
O LORD do not rebuke me in your anger
Your arrows strike deep
When you discipline us for our sins
You consume like moth what is precious to us

Now I understand David
He said
My guilt overwhelms me
It is a burden too heavy to bear
My wounds Fester and stink
Because of my foolish sins
I am on the verge of collapse
I confess
Please forgive me for my sins

Except for your mercies
I will be consumed
And it’d be met and just if you did consume me
But now I appeal to your mercy
Forgive me of my many sins
Forgive me of my much rebellion
Forgive me of my pride
Forgive me of my disobedience
Forgive me of my foolishness

Save me... OLORD my God
For only you can save me

I write about re-finding ourselves, and everything in between; trauma, rejection, acceptance, healing, mental health
