From Brokenness to Restoration

--

In the depths of darkness, I find my abode,
A soul enshrouded, burdened by a heavy load.
Wallowing in sin, in the shadows I dwell,
Seeking redemption, my tale I shall tell.

Oh, the choices I’ve made, the paths I’ve tread,
Lured by temptations that clouded my head.
In the pursuit of pleasure, I lost my way,
Now I yearn for redemption, a new dawn’s ray.

Like a raven’s wings, my sins they take flight,
A tormented spirit, seeking solace in the night.
With every step I take, regret tugs at my core,
Yet hope flickers within, a fire to restore.

I kneel before the altar, my heart filled with remorse,
Seeking forgiveness, a chance to change my course.
With tears of repentance, I pray for salvation’s grace,
To cleanse my tainted soul, to find a better place.

I confront the darkness that resides deep within,
To face my demons, my battles, I must begin.
For redemption is not a gift, easily bestowed,
But a journey of transformation, a debt to be owed.

With each act of kindness, I strive to make amends,
To mend the broken pieces, to make peace with my friends.
I embrace humility, shedding the pride that led me astray,
To find redemption’s path, to walk in a righteous way.

Though scars may remain, a reminder of my past,
I choose to rise above, to create a life that will last.
For in the depths of sin, I found the strength to rise,
To seek redemption’s embrace, to claim a new prize.

So let the walls of guilt crumble and fall,
As I embrace redemption’s beckoning call.
In the ashes of my sins, I find the seeds of my rebirth,
A testament to the power of redemption’s worth.
