GROWING
From the start of my being I devalued ethics,
My outlook on life was twisted and blurred;
Now, with time, my eyes opened I see,
Ideals distorted from what they once were.
It seems my life was controlled by hatred,
All there was then, now there isn't;
Instead of helping I hurted,
Instead of freedom, I imprisoned.
The pale shadow that was once me,
Was not going for it;
Insight was there all along,
But I chose to ignore it.
Thrown into a world of madness,
I psychologically exploded;
Spewing brains of anger, hate,
My hardened heart has now eroded.
Oh God, forgive me for what I was then,
The blanket of pain I was steadily sewing;
My thoughts are reversed, I am different now,
I guess that is all a part of growing.
