Redemption

Blinded by my sorrows,
I walk down this boulevard.
Diluted by lies;
I don’t know where to stop.

With a tethered body housing my dented spirit,
I try to reunite the pieces of my soul.
A callous peep into my past,
exhibited my impious role.

Millions of strange faces
stare upon my scarred face.
Hiding within my shadow;
I rushed, agitating my pace.

Sun denied to offer a hold
it laughed, played a brutal trick.
How much I whelped for a shade,
to hide my hideous deeds.

Innocence abandoned me that day.
I lay back on my feet.
With a straight face
showing no regrets of my iniquitous mistakes.

This world thwarted the reprobate I was,
It pushed me aside it now laughs.
Caressed the devil I was,
always applauded my sinful cause.

Every bygone moment
welcomes the past I had.
Struck by the fear of acquainting it;
I lay down lifeless, dead.

Now, as I stand
 before your holy land, I beg.
Forget all I did.
Sanctify me with your benevolent hand
