Analysis of Psalm
Despite connections with my past, your accusations will not stand
My innocence to hell you cast, while deep inside you understand
Why man is willing to cast stones in my direction at this time
And stand among the broken bones yet distance himself from the crime
Though standing in my solitude I see the gaze of guilt and doubt
Still crucify my attitude (though both i do not live without)
In innocence i stand alone, a child within a man's facade
In guilt i join the world as one a man within religion's guard
And so now aged i confess to guilt yet being less than brave
Despite your ignorance no less i take my secrets to the grave
