Salvation

Damage done; I’ve harmed much More than I’d wish. Transformation Within me. What I lack, Your virtue Provides. So if I fall will you Believe In me? Even when I’m lost Will you Search For me? Confusion gone; What was hidden, Has become crystal clear. To break the cycle, I’m torn yet Reluctantly Turn to You. Hate is the burden I Carry through life. But if you’d accept Me just as I am, Could I be made Whole once Again? Lost without a purpose, Self-consumed with Fierce doubt. Yet it feels so wrong To speak of freely giving This calloused heart to another. Can you forgive me? Would you save me? I’ve broken promises, I’ve made many mistakes, Too numerous to count even. I’ve searched myself; I’m empty. But the biggest fallacy I ever Deceived myself into believing: That anyone else could save me. Salvation comes only from within. And you have to believe you’re worth saving.
