Ambivert's Declaration of Independence
(Introversion Reformed)
The introvert within has “Woke”, She's returned to find her cloak, The extrovert having long spoke, for the voice that once seemed broke.
The introvert yet still ALIVE, Somehow she really did survive, She “came out”, initially, just to thrive, but now she has, once again, revived!
An Introvert, at heart, once more, just not like the one who was before, that fleshly form, t'was quite a bore, that made folks really want to snore.
An Introvert I'll continue to be, except when My faithful God calls me, the shadow-life to sometimes flee, the Glory-Life of His Kingdom to see.
An Introvert I was truly born, due, perhaps, to mockery and scorn, then well self-hidden and forlorn, overshadowed by a thorn.
Then, Introversion laid aside, as I stepped out onto His Ride, To lay aside my shame & pride, to become His loving Bride.
Please use me, Abba, as You will, LORD, bid my quavering heart be still, I'll follow You, out loud, until, my old flesh nature's dead and nil.
Introverted, yes! Yet must submit, to the LOVE & Power which will not quit, Therefore I'll gladly do my bit, to be the Glove Your hand would fit.
Now Ambiverting, Expertise, Extroverting to appease, LORD Fashion me just as You please, In adversity, or ease.
Until I'm useful, and quite Your own, In – or – Out, to YOU alone. Building on the Cornerstone, until I come before Your Throne.
Then in Glory I will shine, my introversion all refined, fully Ambiverted! Re-aligned to your grand design; Fully Converted!
