Redemption <br /> <br />Many cars pass by me <br />My dreams continue to deny me. <br />The sun sets now in a crimson sky, <br />I stare at the wall refusing to cry. <br /> <br />Set off barefoot into the unknown <br />Will it take me to my home? <br />Take me away, I need no more <br />Passing time, an open door. <br /> <br />I'm making my escape <br />Ignoring my mistakes <br />Asking forgiveness for what I have done <br />Hoping for one shot at redemption. <br /> <br />I followed the road to nowhere <br />Feeling the need to stay there. <br />I'm searching for a new beginning, <br />Want to wander, with head still spinning <br /> <br />A car comes by me, and I thumb a ride <br />Insanity beckons, or is it only pride? <br />I ride away, into the night <br />Search for solace, the will to fight. <br /> <br />I'm making my escape <br />Ignoring my mistakes <br />Asking forgiveness for what I have done <br />Hoping for one shot at redemption. <br /> <br /> <br />Jim 1985<br /><br />James Casey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/redemption-60/
