My Redemption
this is nothing new to me
this feeling of desolation
it's been with me for years
and has not left since
weariness and emptiness
are my life's constant
there was a time
someone tried to ease the fears
held my hand to show the way
lead me to a life i have not known
there was promise of salvation
and i bravely took the chance
but all is gone now
there was no salvation
only isolation
and i am back
where i belong
in this dark cell
with no hope of redemption
