Stolen

Evilness consumed your mind You deflowered my innocence And robbed my naiveté’ Burglarized my integrity While applying a death grip on my sanity Do you think about the youthfulness you stole? Or give thought to the exploitation of my growth? One day you will be unconstrained and set free Liberated from your transgressions Will I be left serving your sentence? To the jury you pleaded your sorrows You were concerned for your tomorrows Never gave me a thought with your plea Through shallow tears there was no apology What about my freedom My right to freely breathe How do I regain my vitality? To navigate through life Sealed with condemnation and filling guilty? Death does not reserve its visit I hope you find deliverance It’s urgent you convert your iniquities And pray for forgiveness For he will come like a thief in the night
