Kimberly Ruiz Poet Lyric

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
