And I have finally grown out of the roots of my suffering, The gnarled pieces of my tumultuous past That have left me barren so long. I am in love, A tortured soul cast onward And ready to take down my foes. The beasts I once let suckle on my breast Are today torn away for I now know the meaning Of adoration in the third degree. I rest my weary sons, Finally relieved of battle to return home And rest their weary backs. I breathe today Exhaling the agony of a million sessions of chainsmoking. I love today Like an uninhibited soul, No longer basking in darkness; No longer begging for forgiveness.
