What a Tangled Web I Weaved

in my final minutes of freedom i learned what forgiveness was i got down on my knees and prayed to God to please give me another chance the sound of metal clinging locking both of my wrists shackled on my ankles taking my last breathe of fresh air i knew it was over meaning the life i once knew but was it so bad since that i out grew i lived my life my way since i was a child obeying noones orders and living just wild what a mess that was created in everything i did leaving a trail of destruction along the way in my older years i began banging hard leaving my conscience scarred the final blow came one night when i was really high i stole some money from a place that i once had access to i turned myself in the next morning hoping it would all go away but the only thing that happened was i was there to stay my sentence was five to fifteen with no early release i dropped to my knees and begged God please "if you help me through this i swear ill change my life" knowing i had to face my demons and how i lived trife over time it all worked out and i got released without having to snitch or sell my soul to the devil its a hard knock life but im glad i went through it im here for a reason maybe to save you!
