Held Within a Hell

Now I learn again to see How to act, behave and be No longer absent minded, clueless And feel no longer eyeless or disconnected. Although the pain I’ve caused is great I feel a change is more sense in need Begin the lift of barriers proceeds. The sense of unrest prolongs With gates of hell I’ll belong This road, my life feels grossly shortened. But how I long to feel All this pain and unrest be illusion Every forthcoming result in conclusion Frees the guilt and shameful wrongs And beginnings of myself be strong For I am in need of redemption End resulting be contention Within myself, I’ll see the change From detoxifying burning rage My body, my mind, my soul Again will become more whole.
