I’m a face in the shadows,

Waiting for a miracle near,

Take me away from myself,

Live a life of beauty and grace.

Easy to fall into the shelter

Of painful memories and fails,

Always reminding my soul of

The late nights that could change

Everything I was ever about,

Anything to take me away

From the sadness I seem

To reckon with my every gasp.

The nonsense in the idea of shame,

Seeks shelter amidst the chaos.

Seems lost in the madness

That is our own spiritual grasp

On the reality around our lives.

Give me peace, we might know

In life all that is truth is love.
