REPRIEVE
Looking back through these eyes
Childhood dreams reality lies
People and places always the same
Smoking and drinking part of the façade
Why was mommy falling?
Mommy couldn’t stand up
Daddy had to hold her
Go back to bed yelling at us
Morning after the anger raged on
Mommy was crying and Daddy was gone
Brother, sister why? A little boy asked.
Don’t worry things will get better.
It’s a little argument it won’t last.
Sometime later this teenager could see
People and places coming together fast
A familiar stage motives and scenery
On goes the show
The character I portray
Resembles my parents in a peculiar way
Ignoring my God and all of his will
For God was to blame for all of my ills
Resenting and hating the only will for me
Blinded by ignorance and one way for relief
Drowning my sorrows with bottles of apathy
Years and years the battle raged on
How many people and relations had I harmed
Endless destruction followed this young man
‘Til the day of reckoning was at hand
Surrender to God I saw the light
Confused and still bitter
I ended this fight
Came to the halls broken and pained
Learned how to forgive and start living again
The demons of my past are no longer
Living in the now God’s will shall keep me sober.
