Let me be


There he stood in robes of black,
His eyes were glazed with crack,
He stared at me with features so gaunt,
I knew my dreams he would haunt,
If I allowed him he would consume me,
He was the shadow of my past,

Something would have to change fast,
So I could simply be.

He told me of all the things I’d done,
However these may all seem fun,
They were all that was wrong,
All I ever wanted was to join the throng,
But now I must realise,

I'm lying to myself and all around,
I have to put my feet on the ground,
Or all about life I shall despise.

This shadow of my past will not go away,
Not till I see the light of day,
So then I realised what was my role,
I looked deep inside to find my soul,
All I could see was this vast empty space,
I knew at once what I had lost,
The one who put His life for my cost,

Only he could fill it with his grace.

I was told his love I could not measure,
And that my life he did treasure,
I wanted to let this man back in,
Let Him take on board all my sin,
And at once the shadow did flee,
I knew that everything had been forgave,
That man my soul did save,
So I could simply be.
