David Review (Spoilers)

I went to watch the movie David by Angel Studios with my mom and my brother. As the title of the movie suggests, the movie tells the Biblical story of David who is anointed by the prophet Samuel to be king in place of Saul. After he defeats Goliath, David becomes well-liked amongst the people. This makes King Saul jealous, and he suspects that David is trying to take the kingdom away from him, so he tries to kill him.

This Small Chrysalis



I’m feeling trapped

In this small chrysalis

Dreaming of flowers, trees,

And other things I miss.


I want to burst out of here,

Let my wings fill in just right,

So I can satisfy my need,

My yearning to take flight.

Waiting in here

As other butterflies fly

Without care, without fear.

When other butterflies say,

“Why aren’t you out, lazybones?

Stop getting in your own way!”

Perhaps I don’t have the energy?

Perhaps I am unwell?


I must give myself more time,

And perhaps much more love.

One day, I’ll leave this chrysalis

And venture to the skies above.
