Broken past
Like shattered glass
Present dim
Future grim

A venomous cloud has formed behind me
A blinding haze covers my face
My only hope is the light before me
Given perfect form, and divinity's grace

Prior pains ******* my course
Like an ivy on a tree
It binds, and holds me tightly
but the light shall set me free

Always forgive, never forget
Is a lesson I have learned
We must learn from the broken paths
Lest that we be spurned

The cloud serves as a reminder
The haze as a blurring lens
The light is what I strive for
This journey never ends

Slowly healing past
Like a deep-set wound
Present improving
Future blooming
