Road To Redemption

Straining down a path of traps and deceit I was heading towards the end of me My reckless abandon led me to defeat Flooded with lies I failed to see Choked on the agonies of these misconceived beliefs Running to escape provided no relief Haunted by memories of my childhood I learned to cope through rebellion Living by the rules of the self Sensing my depravity there was nothing else Stringing together the chains that locked me in These self destructive patterns decomposed me from within Sincerity lay in a pile of waste Searching for pleasures that were sweet to taste Sacrificing integrity to gratify flesh Blinded and bound to this self pursued mess Looking down the shattered road I had walked Was a pale reflection of the life I had stopped Somber and in horror of the deepest kind Reaching for a rescue and a sound mind My pain flowing down in humble tears I’m broken down on bended knee Giving up this bondage I’m facing my fears Covered in grace I am set free
