Repentance
Crossing lines of all the classes
We all come up with the same excuse
concealing eyes behind dark glasses
the lies we tell to hide abuse
What wicked thoughts must control
the splintered fragments of one's mind
scars disfigure a gentle soul
deep impressions are left behind
Echoing though shattered ears
silent screams within the crying
whispered secrets behind the tears
why must it end with someone dying?
The sorrow caused by this cruel hand
the disturbing images that remain
God, help me stop this horrid man
God, help me stop inflicting pain
God, help me stop
God, help me!
