Redemption

My past is among things Of which I want to redeem To reduce the amount of pressure Would help me to blow off steam Sometimes I want so badly Just to scream But instead I just hold it in To avoid making a scene I feel like I carry the weight Of the world on my shoulders And the pressure of the weight is so heavy That I feel like I am carrying boulders Sometimes I look down upon myself And I realize that it's tough getting older But as I continue to get older I begin to grow wiser And my spirits become airborne At least then I'll be able to say That I've made it through the storm Lord I have such a heavy load And I feel like I am about to collapse Please lift this load up off of me And help me to relapse Yes Lord please help me to ease the pain For I have been living like a recluse And just don't know how much more I can take Of this mental abuse Lord please allow me to redeem My soul of countless sins I want to become purified And to be reborn again I won't hold back I am willing to come clean No matter how much it stings And to get rid of the horrible things To which I so desperately cling My Lord no jokes I am willing to bare it all Because I sure as hell Do not want to take the fall I feel that it is better to do this now So that in the end I will be standing tall With my back against the wall Saying to myself that I am so glad that I redeemed it all By Glenn McCrary © 2009 Glenn McCrary (All rights reserved)
