Beauty For Ashes
I used to feel like
A ghost
Just floating through this life
Invisible to the world
Weighed down by the chains
of sin and guilt
My shoulders bowed and my head hung low
I looked at You through eyes
of Disillusionment and shame
My heart yearned so much
To just let go
And confide in someone
To look at my reflection in a mirror
And not hate the person
Staring back at me
To show my scars
Where the pain of cutting
Was the only way I could escape
the heartache
And use them as a testimony of
of how you gave me beauty for ashes
