Revealed through shadows
And haunting words on pages,
Laughter's cut apart
By the hearts locked in cages.

A soul once lost was tied back in,
It tried to break its chains.
A vast space for it to hide,
For it to hide its pains.

The darkness shows through
As its smile only hides so much.
A happiness lost to time
When lies became the crutch.

Now is the revelations:
One moment for found gains.
You mistakes don't define you,
You don't have to have the pains.

They find themselves free
Once they accept their own fate.
Their past is many roads
That can't be carved in slate.

Destiny is a funny thing, you see
It is your own choice, own token.
You can't escape yourself
Or fix what isn't even broken.

The taint doesn't run deep
It doesn't flow in your veins.
The world can be cruel
But you aren't only your strains.

Darkness can cover their hearts
But the cages rein them back in.
It hurts but isn't ruined
Just stuck in the chaos and din.

Where does relief lay?
When crimson tides shower
Over your soul
And give you a new power.

The anger washes away
And it will take things with it.
You only have to forgive,
Give in to your soul and sit.

You can wait, but not forever
As the True power is action:
To be a survivor
And have a new diction.

Forgiveness ends in give,
You owe it to yourself
To take your key
And take your heart off the shelf.

Give yourself a new perspective,
Your demons don't have dark wings
Only bars and a lock,
No pretty guises and things.

That person who hurt you
Made you a moon
Who shines even in darkness
And you will always rise again soon
