I Became


It was the same scene time after time, had me wishing i could fast forward or rewind and make it all go away, but I can't .... so it's all here to stay. A new day was a new nightmare, Came to the point I couldn't even look in the mirror Because no body looking back, drives you insane Stuck in the game, a monster i became. A monster I became, lost who I was Like a blurry picture everything a fuzz In the fast lane with no brakes A lurking shadow that takes & takes A consuming creature on the rise Traveling alone with a pack of lies Isolation he sought, unaware of Angels in the skys. Nothings coincidental, it's all fate Gods always on time.......... But I'm always late. Because when your traveling way off road Going way to fast causing more pain running from the past. Shackled hands with no key, how can I hide? Im hiding from me. It won't let up, this guilt, this shame Father remove my short comings Give back my name Break free no longer bound a monster destroyed My soul, I've found.
