overshadowed

BETWEEN  GLASS AND   CONCRETE
BARE  FLOORBOARDS
EMPTY CUPBOARD AND  STOMACH

OVERSHADOWED  BY  INNER   DARKNESS
GLOOM AND  SORROW   RESIDED
SCENES  OF GUILT  AND  WILDNESS

LIES  AND  DEBAUCHERY
UNTOLD  TRUTH  AND  TREACHERY
SEEKING  SANCTUARY

DREAMS  DEEPLY  ENSHRINED  IN   NIGHTMARES
MY  SOUL NAKED  AND  VOID
SNARED  BY  EVIL
IMPRISONED  IN   BLINDNESS

I WISHED  FOR A  BRIGHTER   LANDSCAPE
I PRAYED FOR  AN  INNER   STRENGTH
TO  RELEASE THE  DEMONS WHO  LIVED   WITHIN

UNABLE TO ESCAPE  THE  PAST
I  LIT THE  FIRE THAT  BURNED  BRIGHT
TURNED  MY  LIFE  AROUND

SURROUNDED BY A DIFFERENT  BELIEF
I  UNLOCKED  A  NEW  PATH
WHICH  ALLOWED  ME TO  FOLLOW MY TRUE   DESTINY

A LIFE   OF  GOODNESS -KINDNESS  
NO  LONGER  SELFISH  AND  UNREFINED

BLESSED BY  FRIENDS BESIDE  ME
I  NO  LONGER   HIDE

THE  TIDE  TURNS  CALMLY
UNSHACKLED-I  FLY FREE AS  A BIRD
ACROSS  LIFES   SEAS AND  WATERS
