The Redeemed

THE REDEEMED:

She didn't wish to promise herself,
Only to fall as a premeditative sinner.
If she could just be a neighbour's keeper,
She's considered to be a good woman.
She was just an innocent girl with a wounded heart.
Her virginity was broken like a tempered glass,
Causing her strength and self-esteem to fall flat.
Her goals and dreams were marred and dried.
Although she guaranteed herself with pride,
Because she wanted to become a professional, 
Whose dedication and service would be instrumental. 
But her plans were wrongfully alined,
After she became negatively sublimed.
Making her have a deep fall in deadly ditch,
Which can never be termed a good niche.

"The church girl is now a ghetto dweller.
The nice lady is now a sex worker.
The only child of that noble parents,
Is now a skeleton in a cupboard.
What exactly made me go wayward? "
As she kept questioning herself with falling tears.
It all started when she mingled herself With some obstinate peers,
With the intention not to imitate them,
But rather to help them come out of their fears.
They later crowned her as the smoking gem,
Since she became enthusiastic than them.
Fortunately, she's now a new soul,
Whose life is graciously yoked,
With the blood of the Holy Lamb and the Holy Spirit.
And she's now the professional she wished to be.
Hallelujah...She's saved!
