The Journey
It's weird to admit how life can change in a blink of an eye.
We breath and we live yet we let it pass us right by.
Till we turn around and notice we wern't more than a shell.
The red lines thicken while, your demons drag you to hell.
I still remember everything, my heart turned off to the light
Blackness. Decay. I've taken a taste of death's fatal bite.
Falling. Betraying. Into Hell's gates I now sink.
Decived by lies I can only take a sip of death's drink.
It's metallic like silver, smooth to the touch as I tip up the cup.
I guess it's true that darkness blinds and fully corrupts.
My fingers can barely lift it just as my knees can barely hold.
The power once given I have now turned and sold.
So where do I go now as I rest in Death's unrelenting grip.
I've battled and faught but now my soul's being destroyed drip by drip.
There is no hope, at least not to my mundane knowledge.
And he can sense it, feel it, taste it, forming his pledge.
He will end my life and successfully snatch one of "HIS"
Starring out into the abyss, I see no light, no life, no place that truly is.
I'm trapped in a cellar, surrounded, like I've fallen in a well.
Ha, I'll take it one step farther, I've ended up in Hell.
This is no place I'd ever wish uon a lonely soul.
So stay on the path don't go off down the deceiving rabbit hole.
It's worse than imaginable, more so than Alice lost in wonderland.
But this is no wonderland, all happiness is banned from this land.
"Lift your head ad show some dignity." I hear its voice slither along my ear.
"It won't be fn unless your pain is severe."
He hisses and laughs, tearing at my open wounds.
With chains bolted, hea hung low, a pathetic mess consumed.
I give one last call in attempt at redemptions song.
"I'm sorry God! Ease my soul and forgive me, I've done wrong!"
"I've turned my back, betrayed you, and broke that eternal bond."
"So I beg you, save me from myself and the monsters that respond!"
"Please..." My one last cry to save my own skin...
I called out to the Master, the one and only to wipe away sin.
The demons bite, tear, and swirl aound my soul, destroying my being.
When suddenly a loud wind blew in and I can't believe what I'm seeing.
An angel stands, dressed head to toe in armor, weilding his sword.
The demons shriek at the blinding light and ran at these next words.
"This wounded soul is no longer yours! The Father has heard her and now reclaim!"
Its voice boomed, sending the demons back from whence they came.
"Daughter..." He cut my chains and knelt down to catch me.
"The Master sent me but only HE sets free. It's now time for you to see."
I stared in disbelief, a light filtering in and warming my frozen heart.
And a hand reached down grabbing me and lifting me up befor I could dart.
"You...are called for so much more." His voice was warm, smooth, it got my attention .
"No longer will you suffer from this pain and affliction."
"I heard your cries in the middle of the night and I got your pleas for freedom."
I felt Him smile as He paused, "Worry no more, You are now in My kingdom."
No words could describe the way I felt except for the hot tears running down.
"But I turned my back on you!" I cry and cry. "I gave up my crown..."
"My child I will never leave you nor forsake you, that is a promise I'll forever keep."
"But I'm filthy, covered in the sins of all I've done.."
The Master pulled me to Him in a giant hug, whispering, "That...is why I sent my Son."
"I am not worthy! I don't deserve this second chance at life!"
In one quick motion the Father lifted me up, "You are my daughter, you do not deserve that strife."
With those words He pulled out a goden robe, replacing my tattered dirty clothes.
"And this is what you deserve. It is what I chose."
After being redeemed, dressed like a queen, I feel to my knees.
"Please forgive me for how I was...who I was. It's not who I want to be."
"Then stand. Go and be My vessel, My servant, MY beautiful creation."
Here is where something crazy started to happen, my sins washed off with no filtration.
"You are new, built as should be. Sturdy. Strong. You now can destroy the enemy."
He smiled at me and I at Him. This new power was overwhelming in a pure consistency.
This man was my friend, my father, my master. For only He pulled me from that deadly clay.
I am His soldier. His daughter. His tool to help others no matter what the Devil may say.
I was a fallen comrade, chained and lost in the maze of disbelief.
But now, I've been set free! Given a chance to turn over a new leaf.
His love conquers all, redeems the vile, and revives the dead.
All because the Master cares and values all that's said.
