Deliverance
In gloom she sits
 A prisoner suffering in chains
 Stumbling without help
 She cries out into the darkness without a reply
 Just looking for a savior
 
 Fear and self consciousness cover her face
 Like a mask
 Concealing her true beauty and personality
 Making her unrecognizable 
 Even to herself
 
 Desperate and confused 
 She looks for an answer
 But hate has mended her broken heart 
 And love is a forgotten term
 That was never given
 
 Lost and broken
 Her empty soul and darkened heart
 Start to poison her mind 
 And her scars of conviction
 Begin to heal with rebellion
 
 Her now silent conscience 
 Goes against her thoughtless actions
 Breaking her apart slowly
 Starting on the inside
 But spreading quickly to the outside
 
 Her confidence drops
 Every time her heart breaks
 Her pain comes out in tears 
 And the cool sensation she feels
 Assures her of her feelings
 
 Each morning brings a new identity 
 And each night brings another
 She hides behind a child-like mind
 But presents her actions in a mature manner
  Life for her is a contradiction
 
 Her once soft outward shell
 Has turned into a hardened one
 In which nothing can penetrate
 And nothing can escape
 Making her physically numb
 
 Nothing can stand in her way anymore 
 And now she is desperate for revenge
 She will do anything she has to 
 In order to get rid of the pain
 And stop the suffering
 
 
 
 
 On the verge of destruction
 Alone in this unforgiving world
 She walks as a hopeless cause
 Nothing can make her happy anymore
 The darkness around her continues to grow
 
 But one kind gesture of an average stranger
 Changes her whole perspective
 And the truth he speaks from his mouth
 Breaks the chains about her soul 
 Making her yearn for that which has been missing
 
 She lets the pure light of God pour in
 Chasing every bond of darkness away
 Causing her to glow with understanding,
 Giving her every deprived feeling 
 And another chance to live
 
 Love fills the cracks of her heart
 And Forgiveness stitches the wounds
 Every question she has ever had
 Now is given to her by the one with all the answers
 Her path has taken a different direction
