Have I stepped away from the light
and caught a glimpse of the darkness
where once I stood, before saved-
held captive by the shadow that
seemingly waits around every corner,
brandishing what I used to be
and lingering in my dreams…
like quicksand this hole can swallow me down
if I don’t wrestle my way out of its grips-
remembering where I was
is not an excuse
to leave lessons unkept,
where pain once infected this heart-
peace has come but with a price,
I cannot return to deaths door
but will lay at its steps my warrior crown
remembrance worth nothing at all-
forgetting is safer where darkness hides
rescued once into glorious song
no longer a slave to sin, though worn.
