Freedom

Shattered completely broken
Without any words left to be spoken
What once was the innocence of a child
Has now become someone so jaded and dephiled
I am cover in ruin covered in shame
Most of all I am covered in blame
You abused me in every way...

Finally free

Shattered completely broken
Without any words left to be spoken
What once was the innocence of a child
Has now become someone so jaded and dephiled
I am cover in ruin covered in shame
Most of all I am covered in blame
You abused me in every way...

Second Chance

I can’t live the same life I lived before
I spent two weeks knocking on deaths door
By the grace of god I didn’t die
Is it to much to ask the reason why
If there’s a meaning a purpose I need to know
So I can decide which direction I need to go...

Darkness

I can no longer see the light ahead
I see sorrow sadness and nothing instead
It’s a familiar feeling I have been here before
I lack the strength to fight it anymore
I can no longer laugh or fake a smile
I can’t hide the tears as I did for awhile ...

This is not me

Seems like everyone gave up on me
I understand why
Not sure I can find my way back
Doesn’t matter how hard I try
Alone isolated hated and lost
Being an addict that was the cost
It’s difficult when it becomes yourself you hate
I was meant for...
