      Metamorphosis - Kayla E. Green

      Introduction

      Over the years, I have struggled with depression, anxiety, and self-doubt. My faith and poetry have always moved me forward. I am excited to bring the two together with this book.

      God has ignited a passion in me to write, and He put the Bible verse Isaiah 40:31 in my heart. I was inspired to write the poem Promises, realizing that He has promised me all. I do not have to spend my days anxious or afraid because He will direct my path and set my soul ablaze. He will renew my strength, and I will soar like an eagle. He will do the same for you.

      In Metamorphosis, I begin with topics of depression, anxiety, and searching for something more. I discuss my own transformation, or metamorphosis, through faith and God’s love. I then transition to embracing God’s promises and the strength He provides. My last poem is titled, I Am A Butterfly. This final poem helps complete my transformation through God.

      I have some poems that discuss what it means to be a warrior of God, what it means to be a strong Christian woman, and how to find hope when you feel broken. My poetry is very much a personal testimony of what Christianity has done to help me, mentally and emotionally. These are verses and poems I can turn to for hope, renewal, and encouragement. I hope my poetry will serve as a vessel to lift, inspire, and bring you closer to God.

      Depression

      The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

      Psalm 34:17–18

      A swivet is a riptide.

      Panic consumes you.

      How do you stop from drowning?

      Hopelessness smothers

      You need to reach out

      But exhaustion weighs you down.

      It’s Purgatory

      Your soul is crushed, confined.

      You can’t escape.

      Life’s despondency.

      You don’t want to die

      But you can’t go on living.
