Beyond the Tangled Trap

You won’t define This heart of mine Your vile ways Are just a haze You stabbed my back Altered my track But you will find Uphill I'll climb Out of this mire My sights set higher Than the lowly dregs You have instead I won't lay down And fuss and frown I will smile New life inspired You were a first A likely worst Your pits of fire Tripped me awhile I won’t step back To your tangled trap I am beyond Yes I’ve moved on And on my face Shines new grace Written 03/11/17 4:27 PM and 12/30/2020
