REDEMPTION

Response abilities

Redundant humility

Tethered myself to the ground

Re-spun capacity

Denied the lack in me

And got my ass out of town

Pulled up the slack in me

Embraced my blasphemy

Queen B - my new cause to find

Looked 'round deep down in me

To sights within my dreams

And found there where she chose to hide.

Followed the road

Went barreling down

Keeping my eyes on the prize

Knowing the path

Would eventually lead

To standing there by her side

All of my hopes and attachment to dreams

Were two things I could not deny

And despite their oppression and dubious intentions

It never once knocked me off stride

Proud to be hopeful

Proud to strive onward

Proud to have simply survived

Knew my new home

And knew I would find her

On the very first day I arrived

Signs and wonders over and over

Lessened the scope of my focus

Whispers turned to blinding screams

Telling me "Dresden – you know this!"

Refining the details, catalogued thoughts

Seeking my own reflection

'Til I see her looking Eye to Eye

Each for the other

Redemption
