Locked Inside

Within these confines of what is called my mind
There dwells a creature, who’s been there for all time
I keep him under lock and key
For any escape would destroy me
He was out at one time
With no remorse, no regret
He ruled my life, I’ll never forget
He walked a path that few understand
And every sin he held in his hand
Those days are gone but not forgot
Of pain, suffering and the wrath he brought
“One day at a time” is what I do
To keep the door locked for me and you
With love in your heart and wings on your back
You keep me afloat I’ll never go back
The key to the door
My Father now has
And through Him he’ll never pass
My Father knows what’s best for me
I worship, honor, and respect thee
And when it’s time for me to go
All my love to you I bestow
