Reflection Shattered

 

 Misunderstood

Trapped in the hood

Dark allies

That make you wish you could

Fight for your rights

Escape all the pain

They make you want

To cast out your name

Broken mirror

Reflection shattered

Arms that are bleeding

From cuts so relieving

No strength

Hope fading

Makes you wish

They’d quite their hating

Beer bottles 

trip and fall

Needle puncture

Not safe at all

Injected drug

Runs through your veins

Makes your weary self

Go insane

Dark shadow

Hyperventilating

Try to get up

Then they start complaining

New found prison

Slamming doors

Imprisoned to

What you thought was more

More than the hurt

More than the pain

More than redemption

More than the saint

Guard comes in

It’s time to pay

20 lashes

Sever new pain

Inflaming wounds

Blood drips down

You begin to bruise

Fall to the ground

The door swings open

Sudden brightness

The guard then moves

Revealing the Highest

Jesus Himself

Takes your place

My friend, that’s why

We call it grace
