Principles

They drag me along down side canals
By my hair I come
Left alone I spiral down
Grace has seen me through 
Longing for my own pleasure 
To come and I go as I wish 
Until grabbed in a grip  
Leave me be so success won't fail
But one little whisper 
And all is undone
Plunged into the furnace of life
Out the other side a hollow husk  
Matted
Ready to be burnished along the road 
In the end I may shine 
In the very end 
I didn't know where I was going to begin with
