Repentence

It's been this way for a while now

Trying to make sense of the madness within

While pretending all is ok

If you saw me this way

Would I look like a storm

Or a rippling lake

It's incredible how strong I can be

When all I want to do is break

I have fought with my demons

And battle them still

In the attack at dawn

I can overcome with my will

But when those enemies of night

Come storming at my door

My strength and faith

Is wasted and poor

There is a certain security

In fighting when there is no chance of success

Because the odds are against me

I can revel in this mess

I'll clean it when the sun rises

There are so many surprises

When I have lost all hope

I believe in second chances

I believe I can try again

Because as the sun sets for the end

It is rising where the world bends.
