I must return to a time before all the pain and darkness, this is my chance. |
-A Return To Innocence- by Keaton Foster My crooked spine Slowly unwinds A distant clock No longer ticks Broken By these hands I refuse To accept fate I’m in denial Of my own hate I won’t continue No longer Will I live as is Simply put I just won’t The pain Often severe But to me It’s now quite clear That even the most Grotesque of injuries Can be healed Because now Above all else I understand That I can forgive That I can forget And I can move past All that I am And become Something else A newer being A return to innocence God above Will accept me as is His loving arms Will embrace me He’ll forget All that I’ve said And all that I’ve done Blindly he’ll forgive If I have any chance I must be like him In such ways Of absolute forgiveness And splendid forgetfulness Those who hurt me most Are gone from this earth The only thing That keeps them here Is me No longer They are free And so am I A return to innocence My truest salvation I can be redeemed I know that now In my heart And in my soul I’m free to be A beautiful release A change of fate A renewal of faith I have a chance To be born again To be restored To as I was before This, for me is A return to innocence… A Return To Innocence Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
