I was lost in my words.

My lies to big to chew or gnaw.

I was living a false life,

Under a fake law.

 

I was alone and forgotten,

It was empty and dark.

In a forsaken world.

Like dead black tree bark

 

There was a wonderful way,

I could go back.

Out of the ashes, 

Out of the rugged sack.

 

I told the truth.

I tried as I might,

And was forgiven at last.

Now I walk in the light.
